In a large warehouse we kept uncovering layers of old style office furniture until eventually we found a perfectly formed set of 1950s desks and chairs. As the space became a full archeological dig, I spotted a first edition Windows for Office box in the soil and thought “We’re rich”. Word had no edit function.

The nerdish young man asked me to carry one of the desks to his flat, which we accessed through a branch of NatWest. When we were there he introduced me to his team seated around the kitchen table, including a young sandy haired girl who sported a fully groomed moustache. I thought how extraordinary that such an quiet unassuming girl went through life like this. How did she handle the unwanted attention?

They asked me to comment on the bank’s new bonus scheme which I found to be written in ludicrous management speak while seeking to encourage creativity in the workplace. I tried to encourage them and then went for a walk in the woods.
