"This land has to be managed", they said. The trouble is managers live in offices and fall in with the normal office mode of working. Send out a directive - a sheet of A4 covered with smallish print. The workforce may never read it but when they complain later on you can bring it out and show that they had been kept informed. This office-style nightmare is what we seem to have on Blacka Moor. Every so often a new sheet of A4 appears pinned to a post reminding you that you may have thought you had come here to escape from offices and managers and present day work culture to enjoy some wild unspoiled countryside where nature calls the shots but you couldn't be more wrong. The place revolves around office style directives and the taint of management is never far away. Enough to drive anyone to distraction.
The latest A4 paper straight from the managers desk to arrive pinned to the post at the car park is this one.
However it's dressed up it's an instruction. Is there no limit to the lengths these people will go to intrude on the quiet relaxed places of our world?

Blacka Blogger -
Do you want to see and hear Black Grouse and Nightjars at Blacka Moor when you visit?
If you do, it seems a simple thing to do what the managers are suggesting. If you don't (and you don't much mind whether anyone else would like to see Black Grouse and Nightjars either), then I guess you can ignore the suggestion.
What's the problem?
