Foreign Perspectives

Let’s face it, many people just aren’t at their best in the mornings. How come then that when someone has the idea of having a meeting over a meal to launch some new initiative that it’s pretty much always a breakfast meeting that’s organised?

The latest initiative to reduce unemployment locally is a breakfast get together between the employers and the potential employees in the town to the west of us.

OK, I can’t see the French going for a business meeting over lunch and people usually want to get home at the end of the day, but a breakfast meeting isn’t overlly realistic. For one thing, it’s a town in the country and therefore the public transport to and from it is far from good. How are these potential employees going to get to the meeting when the time current proposed is before the buses actually start?
