In reply to xejn sew. That's how she was at school. Some people never change.

As Li Ding said, “Superbly written, Ms Daphne. I don’t know all the superlatives of praise, but if I did, I’d heap them all on you!”

Measuring scales: “work is work. You don’t bring politics into it. You just do the job.”

[Daphne – Exactly. Why in heaven’s name would I care how a printer votes? Someone I have to work with every day, or share an office with, or have in the house on a daily basis, then yes, it matters, if for no other reason than that I have to be able to trust the person.]

In my professional life I have ‘locked horns’ with both Sidney and his daughter.

I put lock horns in inverted commas as they are such lightweights that I almost felt sorry for them.

Krista, not the sharpest knife in the cupboard to start off with, tried to play the hard nut, shouting and banging on the table.

It took only a couple of admittedly sharp comebacks from my colleague and myself to shut her up and get her daddy simpering and pleading with us. Bitch, I am fabulous indeed.

How about you bring out these measuring scales when you ‘blog’ about the business cooperations of other people?

[Daphne – What measuring scales and what are business cooperations?]

What perplexes me is that although you make it sound that you have a grudge against all Labourites that is miles away from the true picture. People you work with have a strong link to the Labour past but those never get a mention.

[Daphne – I don’t work ‘with’ anyone. I cooperate with people for work purposes, but work is work. You don’t bring politics into it. You just do the job. Friends are a different matter.]

If you search ‘All Judgements’ on Judgements online (Ministry of Justice & Home Affairs site) ‘vs Ellul Sullivan’, there’s a deluge. This seems to be a family of smugglers and fraudsters. So let’s not be surprised.

[Daphne – The Ellul Sullivans are extremely numerous and the problems occur in just one particular family of that name. I don’t think it is at all fair to allow these black sheep to tarnish the rest. When families are extensive, it’s inevitable that some might be difficult, and when the surname is recognisable, this makes it problematic for the blameless. So let’s be fair and decent about this, please.]

In reply to Sesco. @Mycroft - OK. Thank you for clarifying the matter.
