Spot on Ace of Clubs especially the Old Boy's Club mentality (it is said the outgoing boss of NatWest will received £2.34 million for just resigning: how much does a train driver get if he resigns??)and the woeful efforts of Hunt and Bailey( and our present "Government")
Many years ago I was on a course run by a couple of big hitters from the London Business School and one day The Professor posed the question "what is uppermost in a company director's mind". We came up with the usual naïve drivel about profits etc etc and he said "you disappoint me gentlemen-the answer is himself. Expensive Wife, 2 kids at expensive boarding school, social façade to upkeep- himself Gentlemen, himself!!!"
He never spoke a truer word.
