I'm on the road having spent the day in Edinburgh with Evangelos, our bank analyst. I thought I should drop you a line though queueing for an Easyjet flight it is hard to summon up much of a sense of humour. When all else fails fall back on Henrietta. She is only 12 years old, but if I needed further confirmation that we have our hands full here it came in an exchange she had with her mother earlier this week. When Sophie warned her that she would end up in purgatory if she carried on with a certain course of action Hen asked what purgatory was. A sort of no-mans land said Sophie. "Huh" came the instant reply, "I'm there already." We didn't get it immediately either, but if you remember she ditched the rich lawyer's son a few weeks back....its a worry.
