Murphy’s law
The planning, practicalities, is all very well
except for one factor that no one can
predict – Murphy’s law. One variant of
this states ‘whatever can go wrong, will go
wrong’. It is uncanny that when a crisis
strikes, it always seems to be at either the
time of holidays, weekends or when
people are not prepared. There are
number of corollaries to Murphy’s law.
They are
• No one is ever in the right place at the
right time
• Mini-murphys will come to the fore. In
other words, things and people which
generally operate to the highest
efficiency seem suddenly to fail.
• Things always get worse before, or
indeed if, they get better!
