"Communication skills" is a concept invented by the thickos who run Britain's businesses. What they really mean is we are too thick to understand complicated concepts so please simplify them for us.

It's not just public sector, I had a lot of that at my last clientco (private sector).

My thoughts exactly. He should try massaging his tummy in a clockwise direction, as I do with babyson.

I don't think they have heard much of "Out of Office Assistent"!!

It's a shame they aren't this diligent on important project, process related or organisational related information......! I think they should go on a communication course....!!

XYZ will be in at about lunch time today. Problem with his gas – he is expecting a visit from British Gas by around midday
