Another Boring Work Blog

A rolling list of work on the desk of David Thame, freelance writer on commercial property, retail, regeneration and regional economics. The hope is that PR people find it useful.

If Google brought you here and you are now horribly disappointed and unhappily baffled because you were looking for someone a lot more literary and, well, not like this, then you should probably head here instead.

Please note: I do not have any Twitter or Facebook or LinkedIn accounts - so any you stumble into are (scarcely believable, I know) from some other doppleganger David Thame, not me. There's also a www.davidthames.com site - and the s is quite important, and it's nothing to do with me.

27th October 2010....


Those perverse folk determined to see me in the flesh - rather than email or telephone encounters - can come and hear me release a few years of frustration at an event in Hereford on 27th October. It is organised by the splendid Hereford Civic Society.

I'm talking on "The Regeneration Game" with the sub-title "how urban and rural regeneraiton works and whether it makes economic sense."

So if you'd like your prejudices challenged (or your heretical views confirmed) please feel free to come along and heckle, or applaud, as the spirit moves you.

Having delivered myself of some hot air I will lapse into another 20 years of silence....

The venue is the Kindle Centre, Hereford, start time is 7.30, and all are welcome. Admission is free.
