Well, I guess it’s all for the best in the long run. I mean it’s never been easy with all of us spread out over the city. And then there are different phone lines. Half the time when I am answering calls they’ve come to the wrong branch. Then there are the students. I mean half of them have never been in the city or even this country before. It’s no wonder they are late. They don’t know how to find their way round. But this way, when all the changes are over and we’ve settled down in the new building, we’ll be easier to get to. So I reckon they’ll get here more promptly. And then they won’t have any excuse any more for coming in late and missing lectures.

In the early days I had to take premises all over the place, anywhere I could get them, just to get the business off the ground. But over the years I’ve always looked for the opportunity to get everyone together on one site. When all this is over, we’ll look better and we’ll perform better. I know it means we’re going to attract more business. And another thing, we’re supposed to keep all the records on the database, but half the time, the various PCs aren’t working or the network’s down or something. That can surely only get better. Personally I can’t wait.
