At last that very ordinary man at M&S, Stuart Rose, has found a successor but it's rather an odd choice. While the British press is calling Marc Bolland the £1 billion man, people of my age will know him as a singer with the pop group T Rex from the 1970s.
And here he is: Marc Bolan, the photo ... sorry but the usually reliable Live Writer won't let me add a hyperlink here apart from this one ... http://i.realone.com/assets/rn/img/7/9/7/5/16295797-16295800-slarge.jpg

We had a meeting at work today on a topic that not everyone knew much about at the beginning of the meeting. Knowing that the topic could have been buried under a welter of negativity I suggested to the chairman that we split the meeting into two parts:
That is what we did and everyone stuck to the spirit of the split and the negative aspects of the meeting were relegated to the final 5% of it. The outcome was that the meeting was much more productive and, shall we say, positive?
I was very happy with that!
