I have been contemplating Sir Alan Sugars' comments over the weekend. As Managing Director of a Women's Development I wanted a response to the recent row about maternity leave for women.

Whilst working through the day I have the radio on in the background. Whilst I work my ears prick up at certain messages. I don’t indulge in the negative messages but Radio 2 offers some balance in the mania of the world. It offers contemplations and reflections that have spurred me to write today.
