I’ve been so chilled out today. Nothing seems to be getting me wound up at all, even my wife seems to be making sense.
Unfortunately, others around me seem to be losing their heads. I’m particularly referring to some of the comments on this blog recently. One of the problems with the internet is that people often rant at each other in ways they wouldn’t do if they were face to face. I had to disable comments on our YouTube videos as many of the comments were completely out of order. Generally, on this website, people are civilised, although I do delete a number of comments each month which are not suitable.
It’s great that people are passionate, and the debate between various contributors is mostly better than any content I write. But, I would prefer people to show a little more restraint in some instances.
Fair Trade Hardware
A few weeks ago I wrote about my concerns that people in the Far East were being exploited while manufacturing hardware products to fit to UK windows and doors. I’ll be honest, I haven’t made any progress with my thinking, albeit I do have a meeting with my main hardware supplier to discuss in the near future.
I did put a comment on here that I would welcome the opportunity to visit any UK hardware supplier’s factory in China to see the conditions for myself. As yet, I haven’t had any offers 
Global Warming / Climate Change
I’m still trying to get my head around whether human induced climate change is actually happening. There’s been some very informed comments on the original post I wrote, and many thanks to those who have voted. At the moment, it looks like people are equally as confused as myself. If you haven’t voted yet, you can do so at the right hand side.
Why I don’t watch TV any more
Many thanks to John Keleher at Crittall Windows for mentioning this post on Twitter, which very much sums up why I continue adding content to this website:
I often get asked why I bother, and sometimes it’s difficult to explain why I feel the need to keep writing all this stuff. Well, it’s difficult to fully quantify, and I have questioned many times why I bother, but I feel the above post pretty much sums up why I prefer blogging to watching TV.
GlassTalk
I haven’t mentioned GlassTalk for a while, mainly because the dust has been settling from the last event. Tomorrow we’re finishing early and travelling down to Warwickshire to view a rather posh hotel. Nothing is fixed yet, but it is more than likely going to happen on May 27th, so if you’re thinking of attending it would pay to leave this day free in your diary. More news to follow.
