How I hate to see signage stuck on walls with Blu-tak or tape.

Cheap, nasty and off-brand.

Every time.

    You have to give them top marks for spelling and punctuation though!

    I know a few practices where this would actually be “on brand”. I cant see what’s wrong with it? It’s clear and easy to read, it says what to do in a simple way, and it stops people leaving floaters in the bog!

    On brand by my standards, as long as they have a copy of the Sun on the side and an ash tray on the loo roll holder.

    which is worse
    a dodgy bog flush or the blu tak?!!

    How do you identify the ‘attention-to-detail’ mentality that means that the janitor / receptionsit whips to the stationary shop and buys white stick on squares – because it matters.

    How do you train people who simply do not see that it matters so that they change into ‘attention to detail’ people. Is it a money thing or a genetic / personality thing?

    In dentistry, it’s mission critical: the work of an attention-to-detail dentist lasts longer than the average volvo.
    The casual approach of the ‘it-does-not-matter’ merchant fails prematurely like an old Alfa.
