Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

US DEBT

I have to admit to not being completely up to speed on the whole US debt crisis however an article in the Metro got me thinking just how dire the situation is and how BIG the debt is

$14.2 TRILLION - yes trillion.

America's debt could...
Pay for Nasa's annual budget for another 771 years. The space agency stopped sending people into space because of the lack of funding.
Pay Britain's NHS budget for 80 years.
Pay for the US healthcare bill for 151 years.
Pay for Britain's entire defence budget for 234 years.
Pay for the eight year war on terror in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan nearly four times over.
Feed all of the 10 million people currently starving in east Africa for 4000 years.
