One of the reasons I left Dunlop Slazenger Sports in 1991 was due to my refusal to fit in with this corporate speak b o l l o c k s culture.

I actually refused to take part in a ridiculous “team building” exercise that involved all the people in the room randomly linking arms and then having to try to untangle the mess.

I refused and then a couple of the other lads refused as well.

This caused a huge ruckus and the Sales Director called us into a side room and went f u c k I n g mad with us.

I told him that these sorts of exercises weren’t going to help me sell tennis rackets into any sports shop, our job was a “lone Wolf” type job, we lived or died on our own wits.

I still refused to participate and said he could sack me if he wanted to, I was past caring.

A few weeks later I handed in my notice even though I had three young kids and decided to give it a go on my own.

All this rubbish was the first inklings of all the Woke nonsense we are now drowning in.
