This seems to have been a problem throughout British industry, hope its changing. I came back to UK after 22 years in South Africa. Was stunned at the way companies were run in a blinkered negative way. Before you put forward an idea they answer was already prepared as "NO". One experience I had was dealing with huge supermarket customers with trolley problems. A local one here had a slightly sloping car park and loaded trollies were running away sideways with the customers unable to guide them. I said overseas they use two fixed castors at the back and two swivel at the front which makes them easy to guide. The company tried every weird way to overcome the problem but would not listen to me and never solved it. Spent a fortune, and this was a typical example.
