This month I took a cab to get back to the PE office after a meeting. It's not normally the sort of glamorous thing I do, but this particular time-pressured (and rainy) morning it was necessary. The meeting had been in a hotel lobby in Westminster, and during it the politician Nigel Farage walked past our table. Admittedly a minor celebrity spot, but it's always interesting to see in the flesh a face you have seen many times on the television.
