Good Old Samuel Plimsoll !

Occasionally a person comes a long that invents something simple to help a lot of people. So was Samuel Plimsoll. Rather than sitting on the side-lines he got involved in solving the plight of the over-loaded sailor.

I wonder how many people out there would want to create a 'Plimsoll Line' for stress related illness. Some way of helping people realise, 'early' warning system, that they are getting over-loaded. In addition we could collect strategies that people have used to help themselves or others at these times.

Often today when 'news' is communicated 'spin' is involved. Isn't it about time we were prepared to face things as they are. I'm thinking particularly about Public Services. The recent
programme on BBC2 'Can Gerry Robinson Fix the NHS ? showed a public service in a different light.
