Laugh or Cry?1 Mar 2024 17:25
Amidst the tears, it really is quite funny! As the Markets and IIs ignored us for the last couple of years, we wisely (as we thought) laughed down our sleeves - 'What do they know, we are worth £200 ex-Bhutan, or somewhere! One day we will burst out and surprise them all!'
We heard much of how BP was (secretly) beating a path to our 'Data Room'; any minute now, we thought!
Word had gone around about the 'Data Room'. 'Good place to sleep off a hangover'; 'take that pretty secretary there, the wife will never find you'; 'free coffee and pies'; 'get paper and pens to take home for the kids'; 'let's go there to wind up staff and LTH, chat for a while and come out smiling and ebullient. Hahaha'.
Now look who is having the last laugh!
Not us!
