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.

At last I get it!



We all struggle with it if we're honest. Even those of us who think we know it are sometimes stricken with a crisis of confidence. Is it before the s? After? Is my noun singular or plural? We confer, we debate, we type it both ways and try and decide which way looks right.

Well not any more folks. Last week I came across a website which makes it all CRYSTAL CLEAR! Brilliant. An apostrophe is used to replace missing letters - in ALL instances. Yes really, even when used in the possesive. Read this and you will NEVER make a mistake again.

You might need to brush up on your Canterbury Tales though!
