Our new MD doesn't seem to grasp the amount of time it takes to travel
around London and his answer to everything is to go to google maps or
his satnav and see how long they say a journey will take.

He also seems to think that the underground system covers everything
inside the M25. You might think this wouldn't create a problem but it
does when all the techs are northern monkeys and believe him when he
tells them to just nip down the M1 until they're inside the M25 then
get the tube the rest of the way to wherever they're working.

Pointing it out is going to do no good whatsoever. He needs learning he
does and the bestist way to learn him is to have him do it. Have him do
some fetching and carrying for you in among a few site visits, he will
change his view.
