Women in business

My friend Claire just turned me on to this article by one of my favourite ever columnists, Charlie Brooker.

The interwebs is, like… amazing!

Seriously. I never stop being amazed.
Before I tell you this story you have to remember that I have no technical skills in the coding department (I can just about make some text bold in HTML), but I’m a relatively heavy user of the internet and I like to think I’m pretty quick at picking [...]
