Social conscience?

"We need an income but financial gain is not the most important thing in the world. We need to try to help the environment and help poor people out of poverty in the third world."
The local Communist Party?
Nope - The Swanage and Purbeck Holiday Accommodation Association.

There us a mass of research material going back over years and years showing that income maximisation is rarely the chief motivating factor in work so this comes as no surprise. You dont buy or start a business in a seasonal place like this if all you care about is money.

The recent consultants report on the creative industries in Dorset wa scathing about "lifestylers" who are not interested in expanding their businesses and this probably applies just as much to the serviced accomodation game as well.

Cor, I'd never realised that people set up businesses in Swanage in order to aid the 3rd World.
I must be stupid.

I agree with the last remark. You must be - its part of the Swanage time warp mentality. The rest of the world has moved on.

Quoting David Cameron "It's time we admitted that there's more to life than money, It's time we focused not just on GDP but on GWB - general well-being."

There you are, its tory party dogma now.
