The world seems a more sombre and darker place than it did last week somehow.
However, the world is also a very different place to what it was fifty, thirty or even twenty years ago – because of the internet.
Take my business – which is all about rented property in England and Wales. It is both local and international. Most members are based in the UK, but there have been many from outside – from Australia, Italy, Switzerland, the Middle East and of course America to name but a few.
The internet links us all together and allows us to work together in friendship, internationally. Surely this is a good thing, and something which, now it has been let out of the bottle, cannot be put back again.
But what happened on the blog last week?
