There's always a place for good manners

June 17, 2010

While it's often said that Britain is broken, going to hell in a handcart, etc, Guru - the eternal optimist - will always insist it isn't so. And here's the latest evidence.

Thirty-five year old unemployed labourer Lee Dixon left his fingerprints at the sites of more than 100 break-ins across rural England. So far, so broken Britain.

But according to the courts Dixon is a 'gentleman, Raffles-style' burglar, keeping damage to a minimum, and even washing the dishes at some of the homes he burgled.

That's just the kind of good old-fashioned manners Guru likes to see. Broken Britain? Whatever next?

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
