Truly, nothing would surprise me. :)

Nor me. The thing is that talking about major accounting firms can be downright boring, but they are huge players in the economy.

I know it sounds paranoid but I really worry it may already be happening. If it is then someone is likely to leak it to the Fifth Estate. Then it will enter the news cycle with a predictably short shelf life until the next outrage occurs to grab our attention.

My wife was an accountant - I showed her this and she sighed deeply. Eyes were rolled.

I hope it wasn't because she found it s ludicrous possibility or overly paranoid! I think there is a real danger since mad as our king may be down here, he seldom skips over any possibility of accruing more power. I can fancy moving to the Faroe islands or Shetland! I hope I'd get used to the rain and fog.

Oh no, not paranoid at all - probably reality. Nothing at all surprises us any longer. We have been to Shetland several times - splendid place, but a bit windy. We were passengers in a car once going from one side to the other over a fairly steep hill. As we crested the hill the wind hit us and the front of the car lifted off the road before falling back with thump. "Often like this" said the local who was driving :)

I'm keen on windy days but not like that- it would blow my jaunty news boy cap into the next county!
