Radio broadcaster Nicky Campbell arranged for me to meet his ex-wife, who lived in the Outer Hebrides. I was furious to discover that I had to travel by plane, while he went on a roll-on-roll-off ferry. This meant I arrived hours ahead of him and had to wait at the port for his arrival. Eventually he introduced me to his former spouse who told me excitedly “I use make-up to express the uncertainty of the world’s economy”. I looked through her portfolio and realised she may have said “make-up” but meant to say “graphic design”. I was particularly taken with the orange and red designs that looked like chemical warning announcements but said things like ‘warning: toxic asset’ and ‘dangerous bank bonus’.
