Guru has decided to follow in the footsteps and join the outsourcing revolution. Or rather, Mrs Guru has insisted that Yours Truly gets fully on-song with the latest trend for public service professionals – for clearly, like the BBC, Guru has a public service remit.
Following the news that Dartford Borough Council has become the first to outsource its complete HR function, Yours Truly feels it is only good and proper that he falls into line with this latest trend.
In practice this means all his day-to-day activities, such as waking up, getting dressed, brushing his teeth, doing the laundry, cooking, cleaning, paying the bills, organising transport, driving, changing the TV channel will be outsourced to Mrs Guru.
Mrs Guru, it has to be said, claims this happened years ago, in which case Yours Truly is happy to accept all the plaudits for being a pioneer in this area.
Any similarities with the Royal family are entirely appropriate as Yours Truly does like to slink about the place wearing purple, brandishing his mighty sceptre.
Whether this outsourcing trend is sustainable in the long run, only time will tell. The only discernible difference Yours Truly can spot is that his pay will now go directly to Mrs Guru, although he will be allowed to monitor its activities from afar.

It was Dartford not Doncaster.
Have you been on the sauce again?

Clearly Yours Truly outsourced too much. Or should that be out-sauced too much.
