Nothing is what it seems to be in the great media love-in

ONE of the odd facts of life, which for obvious reasons gets left out of management courses, is that when a number of women work closely together, over a period of time their menstrual cycles tend to coincide.

The company involved gets through its corporate PMS in one collective go. Now, it may well be that some might prefer corporate PMS in instalments. After all, one piccolo, pipsqueaking away, is easier to take than a full orchestra, fortissimo.

But the women all go together, when they go.
