Ok, if your server room is staffed with Brits, then you lure them out with Crumpets and tea.

Agree with you entirely Steve.
I am self employed and all my work comes from gaining quickly an understanding of the Clients business and then coupling that with my IT knowledge to find and or develop the most appropriate solution. Because the results are typically good I remain connected with the business to provide further strategic advise. A number of Clients have me in on the weekly or monthly Management meeting. I will point out my initial training was as an accountant, this understanding and a number of years as a manager have help give me a greater understanding of the business processes.
In my past life as an employee (IT Manager), I was often referred to as the person that did understand all the business processes. I attribute this to the fact that IT is what ties a lot of different departments together, so it only requires a little effort from the IT Guy to gain a good overall view or understanding.
I believe IT are ideally placed to help drive business, certainly not solely, but isn't all business a team effort?

Eric the folks in the UK just went, "What?". Over there "biscuits" means something else. However free food and coffee is likely to clear out a data center planet wide.Ok, if your server room is staffed with Brits, then you lure them out with Crumpets and tea. But once they've had a taste of chicken biscuits and expresso for breakfast, they'll never jump for the dainty stuff again.
Ah! Classic invalid stereotype!!! (but funny and certainly no offence taken)

Well that site is now bookmarked. I'll skip the long story of the months I spent in recovery having my daily breakfast of oatmeal and coffee. I fell out reading the T-shirt. Looks like an aside to "Top Gear" there. I have to think about the duck a bit.
I have wanted to come over for many years. One of my friends asked me where is the first place that I want to visit in the UK. As a former broadcaster I always said "Bush House". Even though the World Service has moved, still.

Ah, but the Staffordshire oatcakes have more wheat flour than oats. Or so they taste to me.
If you want the original product, tuck in to Scottish oatcakes!

Different things entirely. Love both. I am sure GoofyGuy will agree with me as I recommend everyone to try both and come to their own conclusion. 🙂

Quite right. Food, particularly, is a matter of taste.
My problem is that I never met a meal I didn't like.
