Business non-event

Today I went with Toni of Business Cornwall mag to an event put on by Truro Business School to launch a new advice service for small businesses. Not very well supported by businesses as it turned out - I think there were about as many business advisors there as businesspeople. But there was the woman who runs Dodopad, which seems to be hitting the market in a big way now, stocked by retailers like WH Smith and Waterstones. In the end, Toni decided I shouldn't write it up for the magazine as it would just be free advertising! There has to be a proper news angle for business if it's to make the mag. She always says she has to attend the opening of an envelope and I'm beginning to understand what she means.
