things that inspire and things that are dire: Is he Quackers?

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.

Is he Quackers?

Happy Friday Everyone - Just in case you're dreading the commute home tonight.......

When you next travel on our roads, get held up on our busy motorways or maybe whilst you're travelling along a country lane and the farmer is moving his herds of sheep or cows, please spare a thought for farmers who herd ducks. Yes, you've read correctly ducks.

Although this farmer was thoughtful and avoided the rush hour, as he needed to make his journey from his farm to a nearby pond in search of food for his ducks, a few commuters were held up. The farmer was armed only with a very long stick and only had a few helpers. I'm pleased to say that the ducks made it safely to the pond and apparently he didn't have any casualties.

Saying you were "caught in duck traffic" would make a change from "sorry I'm late, the traffic is horrendous".
