You're not Melvin

The Gorse Fox has had the sort of day that he hopes will quickly be erased from memory. Stepping in to fill in all of the holes that certain colleagues have left, the Gorse Fox has become the bottleneck on a number of converging streams of work. This is all very fine, until things get political and those who should have done the job claim they are being delayed. PMs being PMs cluster round in mutual defence. Architects, being architects, ignore the politics and get on with the job in hand.

When the day was over, GF headed off for something to eat and then returned to his hotel. As he marched in and crossed the foyer and elderly lady stepped out and announced "You are not Melvin". Somewhat bemused, GF acknowledged her perspicacity and continued (bemused) to his room, locking it carefully behind him!

So the trolls are still playing? Nuke them!

Maybe you missed an opportunity - she might have wanted to give "Melvin" a million quid ...
