Comments

Tells the listener almost nothing. Mostly about presentation, and precious little substance.
Statements followed by question marks are annoying. It is often not clear what the question is, or why it is being asked.
I have given many presentations to the King's Fund, and this sort of waffle doesn't fill me with much hope.
