"Having been up to my eyeballs for most of the last month and then on holiday, I've missed much of what's going on. Sorry (particularly having made noises about doing something).
But worryingly, I seem to be completely out of the loop on…"
Simon Roberts commented on RSA Networks's group 'Bristol Network'
"Fits with one of the ideas coming out of one of the 'RSA et al' evenings before Christmas - a festival of Bristol ideas (as something of an antidote to the tendency of Festival of Ideas to fly/train/taxi someone in from somewhere else…"

"Will do - and I'll set up a discussion forum on the finance/money piece ('Financing Bristol's future'?) once there are a few more of us signed up!"
Simon Roberts commented on RSA Networks's group 'Bristol Network'

Simon Roberts replied to Adrian Ashton's discussion 'co-ops as social enterprise' in the group Social Entrepreneurs Network
"OK. Let me put it another way. I still don't think being a co-operative 'automatically' qualifies you as a social enterprise. I'm aware, for example, that The Co-operative has, in the past at least, been accused on deeply…"
Simon Roberts replied to Adrian Ashton's discussion 'co-ops as social enterprise' in the group Social Entrepreneurs Network

Simon Roberts replied to Adrian Ashton's discussion 'co-ops as social enterprise' in the group Social Entrepreneurs Network
"Assume there is a co-operatively-owned business designing missile guidance systems. Social Enterprise? I think not, however good its CSR activities.

Retro fitting would go down well where I live too - endless Victorian freezing cold terraced homes, all leaking energy like there's no tomorrow!
