going to be published the month after next, and I understand that everybody has got

their dates, but I do feel quite strongly that we're bringing this out too soon. Sean:

Well, any other thoughts before I comment on that? Carrie: I don't think we've got

any choice at all about it. If the radio programmes are going out at the beginning of

next month, we've got to launch the book at the same time if we're going to have any

sales impact.

Transcript

Sean: The office move, as you know, the plans have been up by the main exit for a

week now. I just wanted to see what kind of feedback you've got.

Tim: Yeah, Sean, I'm sorry, but I really strongly disagree with the new floor plan. I

think it's divisive to separate the secretaries and the assistants out from the editors and

managers. I'd be much happier if we could be located in teams. Carrie: Actually, I

think Sean is right. I've been chatting to some of the secretaries and they're quite

keen to all be sitting in the same area, and, speaking as an editor, I think I'd like to be

with other editors so that we can bounce ideas off each other and things. So I think

Sean's floor plan is right.
