A very charming man JH. Does he still live in that quirky little house? 

I used to take visiting American friends to the Sloane Street branch when I lived down that way. JH often did a tour of his kingdom & you'd get to see him. I actually used to leave Americans in there while I popped out to Partridges (their own label champagne was jolly good with one of their roast chickens) and to see a friend in Georgina Van Etzdorph or whatever that place was called. She was a lovely girl. Taught me all about pulse points, she did, and where a lady should apply scent for the best results... Happy memories of sniffing her tits... 'It's alright, it's only Jimmy'... 

On returning to Hackett my American friends were usually transformed into English Gentlemen. Oh how I'd wink at the boys behind the till...

I've never done anything but good. Ever.

Oi - you lot spelling again - 'discreet' means sub rosa or restrained and 'discrete' means separate.

I have just been watching a marvellous training film ('e-learning' in the lingo) on teams.

A South African voice over - which is a first.

The wooden acting is all done by Americans. It is multicultural and the non-white female is always the boss.

There is some confusion until I realise 'Hector is the name of one of the individuals and not an example of bad team behaviours.

Really bad clothes. Double breasted jackets with enormous shoulders. Shirts with crappy collars, terrible ties....

'Hectoring people' - Now that really does take me back. Thank you for reminding me of an old friend. I must use the term more often.

Best -

If it was a South African film, then by law there are racial quotas each organisation has to fulfil for positions being populated by the right ethnic and gender mix (weighted).
