Re: Fw: Christine Large

actually, it wasn't me saying, i just did the translation. (-:

however, if memory serves,  Ms. Large's performance, or lack thereof,  
whilst at BP,  demonstrated a profound proclivity for the taurus by- 
product as opposed to  actually accomplishing anything useful to the  
cause.   i think the general opinion is that whatever new position  
she may have garnered was done by bullshit rather than by pointing to  
actually results at BP.

for a number of years i spent a lot of time at BP, and a lot more  
time and effort promoting the cause. but i think that by bthe time  
she was on the scene i had given up, so i don't have any empirical  
knowledge of her effectiveness.   however, to use another latin  
expression, "Res ipsa loquitur" (the thing speaks for itself).
she was never very popular and her decision to essentially ban Tony  
S. from the park exacerbated an already bad situation.

to be fair, it's got to be one of the most difficult and thankless  
things to do; to try to convince people to give real money to  
preserve something like BP.  to those of us who understand and care,  
it's a no-brainer, but to those who don't, it's a very hard sell  
indeed.  i knew one of her predecessors rather well, Roger B.,  the  
former Lord Mayor of MK, and i know how much he cared and how hard he  
tried, and in spite of his efforts, how little of what was needed he  
was able to provide.
