Hi: This Sunday I will be part of an online radio debate that is being broadcast from the UK (see below). We will be discussing retailing and the issues we face. I'm sure I can work in the power of gold. So, at 4:30PM EST on Sunday, lower the volume on your TV and pump up your computer and tune in. For our Aussie friends, that's 8:30 AM on Monday; for our British friends it's 9:30 PM London. And for those who attended the IRSII Conference in Melbourne and heard me speak, I promise that I will keep it clean ;-). George ======== Dear George, Thank you again for agreeing to take part in the short debate this coming Sunday afternoon 1630 (eastern time). If the following is a copy of what you already have please accept my apologies : Global is BBC Radio 5 Live's foreign affairs programme called Global, broadcast Sunday evenings 2100-2200 London time, 1600-1700 Eastern time. The presenter is Brian Hayes. You can listen to the output on the web .... http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/ As part of the Global programme we have a debate on a topic currently in the UK news, but also linked to the BBC's Talking Points website. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/talking_point/newsid_1097000/1097341.stm As a foreign affairs programme we try to give a wider perspective on the topic...to see how other countries view similar problems. This week we would like to discuss online shopping ...was it good for you? Is this just a passing phase or is it here to stay? Do men shop online more than women? Do women like to be out in the field feeling the goods and having a social time? We're setting up an internet specialist from Sweden, someone from Hong Kong or S.Korea , someone from Brazil and you...so it should be good. We wanton see how people feel about shopping online. Have people started shopping from their mobiles? Do people like going to shopping malls and getting their hands on the stuff instead of looking at photographs. Is online shopping taking over from mail order catalogues? Is online shopping for the men, an extension of playing computer games? Or do men hate shopping anyway and this is a godsend for them? Some ideas to be getting on with. This is not a combative debate, rather a means to inform our listeners of what happens around the globe when faced with the same problems. Thank you again, Regards, Leo ______________________________________ George Matyjewicz, Chief Executive Officer Standard Reserve Corp. -- Atlanta, GA Acct# 120018 Tel: 770-300-3070 Ext 2818 World Wide Currency for the World Wide Web http://www.standardreserve.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
