Well, what a strange week it’s been again. I’m beginning to wonder if this really is England. No earthquakes this week, but hurricanes.
And very badly-timed ones at that. The winds and rain struck just on the day I had to go to London to be judged as a finalist in the Blackberry Women and Technology awards where I have been short-listed in the Small and Medium sized Business category, and I had to get there and back in a day from Leeds.
The problem was the weather wasn’t playing ball and the trains didn’t like it. When I finally managed to get on one that was actually running, we were down to a 50mph speed limit because of the high winds, and worse, no bacon sandwiches!
It was all looking quite hopeless, but eventually the sun came out and we did get to London. Half an hour with the judges, then whisked to hair and make up to look very glam, then some filming for the big night.
So fingers crossed for 6th May when the results are announced at a glittering ceremony. If nothing else, a Blackberry is the perfect 
vehicle for the mobile version of 4X Dealer™, which our programmers at Cybertrak will be working on soon for all those busy travelling Finance Directors.
I think FD’s are likely to want to keep an even closer eye on the foreign exchange markets at the moment. The Dollar continues to record new lows against the Euro on an almost daily basis, and is showing no signs of stopping. Similarly the Pound against the Euro.
This should be fantastic for UK companies exporting to Europe, and if they want a favourable Euro rate they should check out our latest web rates on 4X Dealer™.
Anyway, probably time to stop now. I’m just looking out of the window and the sun is shining. England, March, it’s not bad.
