A very very interesting piece . In the current oil price regime I would imagine in your particular industry it must be a bit hard to want to get up in the morning . If it were me I would probably go to bed and hibernate for six months …….wake up …..see what the oil price is ……. rinse repeat until things improve .
Thats godda be the hardest sell ever right now . It must be like pushing water up hill with a stick or herding 5000 cats called Oakley , all with three legs , whilst having your hands tied behind your back and a “gimp ball” strapped in your mouth. Good luck with that .
