Halfords!

Post by spot »

Halfords.com went off the Internet. Website, email, the entire sheebang. Some prat in the IT department failed to renew the domain registration at Network Solutions.

Halfords is not a small business. 10000 employees, over a billion dollars a year in revenue, lord knows how many branches, one of the London Stock Exchange 250. Then bang, emails bouncing and no orders over the web.

If they have an IT Director on the Board I reckon he or she should be fired. If they don't have an IT Director on the Board then the Chairman should be fired for not recognizing the importance of IT.

ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.

Folks who'd like to copy my intellectual work should expect to pay me for it.:-6

Heads should roll. Hell, heads should be severed and placed on sticks stuck in the ground outside the office. Employees can cackle at them as they enter and exit.
