There could and should have been a great deal in the public domain before we
reached 2007, many years before. Unfortunately, over the last few years, Hampshire and the South of England generally has lost a several hundred million Pounds for each year since 1999, compared with what could have been: a direct result and reflection of the lack of business acumen, ability and development assistance in the region. I had hoped to use my position as Director of the Technology Diversification Centre, for which my proposal won European funds, or rather a larger version of it at a London University, with the likely to certain title (it had already been discussed) of Associate or Visiting Professor, to launch my esoteric career in parallel. The University was well aware of this and had not problem with the situation, especially as it would have meant a massive influx of sponsorship funds. The University was broad minded in that respect and, in any case, there was already a Professor in residence with a reputation for being a little eccentric, though for different reasons. Not only have I had to go outside Hampshire for business advice and support (with the sole exception of the Chambers of Commerce) but out of the Country, in effect to a Satellite Television Company in the United States, for such a major development as that on the horizon. Part of my contribution to the Discovery television Programmes was recorded in Havant during June 2005. that included having the ground floor of my house turned into a television studio for several hours, as well as filming outside the house. At a minimum Havant will be known worldwide and Hampshire more so. It is a great pity there are not positive connections with the situation rather than very negative ones. The former would have been so much easier and far less costly to business in Havant, Hampshire, the South of England, plus Germany and elsewhere. |
