This Christmas....4 Dec 2024 07:59
Please let's all spare a thought for those less fortunate than ourselves. I am of course talking about Simon (Bob) Bennett, Avacta's very own Bob Cratchet.
For a solid year has been beavering away in his freezing, windowless office. His only source of light and heat, a couple of candles burning dimly on his makeshift desk. For his pittance of pay, his poor frozen fingers bleed from the constant clatter on the keys of his 1870's Sholes & Gliddon typewriter. While each and every one of his begging letter's to Big Farmer gets screwed up and tossed into the plush bins of some of the world richest companies, he worries where his next meal is coming from.
Once again, and soon, it will be up to us entitled mug punters (formerly known as Avacta shareholders) to dig deep into our loaded pockets and give cold hard cash to the cause. Here's hoping the BOD can see it in their hearts to get poor old Simon Bob a goose for his Christmas table this year. Scant reward for his tireless, yet unproductive efforts. If funds allow, we can only hope it's one that lays golden f'ing eggs!!
Merry Christmas one and all !
