With all the solutions, you’d think everything was a problem
I’m sat here reading a magazine from Sage, the accounting software bods, and its title is “Solutions”. Fair enough, I suppose, given that presumably it deigns to solve problems that crop up with running your business.
When I saw it, however, I was reminded how many things seem to be a problem – given the amount of times you see the word “solutions” thrown about these days.
There’s Shanks Waste Solutions – waste is a problem when it hangs about, so that’s fair enough. There’s a “washroom solutions” van that I see around from time to time, and I guess soap and water solve the problem of germs, so that’s ok too.
But there’s a hair salon on my route to work – with “Hair Solutions” plastered in the window. Now I have a problem with my hair in that I don’t have much of it, and the only “solution” is probably a wig, although that will of course create its own problems. But if you are saying that everyone who goes in there has a problem with their hair, it sounds to me like they might be put off a bit.
Just a thought.
