    First rate management speak on page 4 of the RP today, courtesy of a man with a moustache who is something or other at Ladbrokes.

    ‘…on betting shop machines, we know there is a benchmark to be overtaken…’

    ‘…as well as having long-term strategies, the short-term nuggets are not dreams…’

    ‘We’re now in the harvesting space with our Odds On Loyalty card.’

    ‘In the long term the business will be about executing the current strategy even more singlemindedly…’

    ‘…determined to dynamise e-gaming to leverage the strengths of Ladbrokes…’

    and so on and so forth. Marvellous stuff, although I am slightly alarmed by the phrase, ‘harvesting space’. Perhaps this is what happens to winning punters – they are captured and taken to the ‘harvesting space’ and never seen again.

    Well done to the RP for reporting all this with a straight face. Gave me a chuckle on the train this morning, anyway.

    I’m sure that the article made plenty of readers wake up and smell the coffee.

    …and a bit of get-go in your step as you mind the gap, I’m sure

    Well done bloke at Ladbrokes. Quite obviously a self-motivated and highly motivated individual able to think on his feet who has made the role his own in this specialist field

    As a Team Leader he can be proud that his Colleagues have been doing exactly what it says on the tin

    easy-working but hard-going
