Financial Services Authority of no help at WTM

Current economic climates as they are we were jolly pleased to see the Financial Services Authority had a presence at WTM at Excel yesterday - well a booth smaller than Superman's telephone kiosk with one bored looking youth slouched at a table looking forlornly out at the world walking by.

Imagining we would be overwhelmed by exciting advice and juicy tips on how to help businesses, kitchen rat took pity on the fella and went to sit with him, asking him what advice he had to help the industry in this time of economic peril..

'Hmm' he mused unconfidently in a 'computer-says-no' kinda way, "not much really, it's not my area, but I've probably got the number of someone who might be able to help?"

What may we ask we  re you doing there if it's not your area? - We'll give you a tip for starters - at WTM there's gonna be quite a few people in the hospitality and tourism industry attending, so why not send someone who knows a little bit about it.
