Judging from the dearth of business here, now is a good time to land my Christmas competition on you as it will require just a little thought and a quiet moment or two on your part. I have tried different things over the years and generally, harsh though it may be to say, the response has been disappointing. I expect more this year! As regular readers of my Friday drivel, I am sure you will have been impressed by the enhanced intellectual content since my move to Cambridge. My life used to be all about chickens and other rural issues. It is now substantially more sophisticated, encompassing Greek plays, choir practice...oh and Real Tennis on which more some other time. Anyway, obviously I am into poetry now too and so what I am asking you to do is to complete a limerick the first two lines of which I might suggest could be:
A salesman we know at SB.....
Moved to Cambridge and what did we see?
...........
...........
............
But you are free of course to ad lib and ignore the suggested introduction. So, go on, have a crack at it. I will publish all contributions received anonymously, except for the winner's - I'm the judge - who will receive an appropriately generous prize in addition to general acclaim.
One aside, I don't know Andrew Barker, formerly head of European equity strategy at UBS, but he clearly likes a challenge. I read in my FT this morning that he is taking on the job of investor relations at Easyjet. Good luck to him, but they should tackle customer relations first. Speaking as a frequent flyer.....Moooo.
