I didn’t watch the BAFTA’s but this must have been very funny. I can remember many years ago watching the documentary about John Davidson, hardly anyone had heard of Tourette’s at the time, this made it both fascinating and hilarious. I remember one part when he was in a greenhouse and the teacher dropped a plant pot, John immediately blurted out ‘Fuckin idiot’

No problem, I fully agree with you and I'm keen to go. I guess she doesn't want to visit somewhere which she thinks is gloomy and depressing, which is odd after being married to me for 30+ years! She was happy to visit Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam and a memorial in Berlin so maybe I can persuade her.

There are always caveats to one months set of figures, but the borrowing figures are better than expected as were retail sales, so good news. Well done Rachel!

We have manufacturing partners in Gdansk and Budapest so been to both loads of times, both lovely cities. Krakow is a good shout, think you can fly from Bournemouth, but the wife refuses to visit Auschwitz.

We did Florence from Venice and also Verona, that's a nice city.

I think it could be very interesting Belfast.

We often like to add an extra night to any city break so we can do a day trip somewhere by train. Have been really impressed by the Italian train system.

What did you have to do to get your knighthood?

Good shout, the wife wants to do that, Xmas market.

We're off to Seville next month, looking forward to it. We did Berlin last year and that was good.

Too right, with a mostly self funded pension and not too long until retirement.

I have no idea what Burger Kings policy is, perhaps they do pay the same. Generally though young people start in low level roles requiring lots of training to give them experience. Lower pay is quite normal, most of us have gone through this.

Thankfully the FTSE is more of a measure of multinational businesses and the global economy rather than the UK, even though Rachel tried claiming credit for it.

I’ve never walked out of a cinema during a film but I came close with Deadpool 2. If I’d seen Deadpool 1 I wouldn’t have gone.

One of those films which gains a certain notoriety and you feel compelled to watch it.
