Back in town, Gorse Fox bumped into a colleague in the coffee queue. "All set for this afternoon?" she asked.
There was a long pause - the Gorse Fox reviewed his appointment calendar in his head. Flashing the dumbest of looks, he replied that he had no idea what she was talking about. It appears that there was an appointment at the corporate lawyers - GF was expected to be there, but nobody had thought to tell him. As it happens, a previously scheduled meeting having been cancelled late yesterday, he could make it.
And so the afternoon was spent in the eyrie at the top of an office block in the heart of the City - affording spectacular views across the city-scape from the Olympic park to the east to Wembley in the west. Being corporate lawyers there was also the mandatory champagne fridge on display for all to see... though it remained untouched during our meeting!
