Speaking of which, you may recall that Chinese ancients used to liken the running of a big country to cooking small fish, i.e. you don’t keep stirring the pot lest you make a mess of it.
The skills of cooking small fry are apparently lost today. That is fine. I mean, we understand. We understand how things have come to be.
Alright, media examples:
1. A BUSINESSMAN ‘duped’ customers by selling solid-wood kitchens which turned out to be made of chipboard and fibreboard, a court heard.
Vance Miller, 44, runs a multinational firm with a turnover of millions but is accused of using ‘unconventional’ and ‘criminal’ methods.
The prosecution case, brought about by Oldham Trading Standards, is that Mr Miller and three of his colleagues conspired to defraud customers by advertising their kitchens as made of solid or real wood when they were not. They all deny the charges.
Patrick Field QC, prosecuting, described Mr Miller's alleged actions to Manchester Crown Court as `fraud in its simplest form'.
“Please do not think that this is small beer or petty crime,” he said.
“This was a big business that boasted about being one of the biggest suppliers of kitchens in the country. A business with a turnover of many millions.”
Mr Field said that Mr Miller’s companies, run from an Oldham mill, advertised high quality real wood products at bargain prices.
