Interview

 I recall my interview at Cambridge University.  It was a cold, icy, February morning the day after I had arrived back in the UK from an Arthur Andersen Tax Training Course in Holland. I had set off early from my digs anticipating bad weather, but not factored in the fact that I would have to walk at a snail's pace.  By the time I reached college, I was 10 minutes late and feared the interview would not go ahead due to being late. Outside Corpus Christi College, on the other side of Trumpington Street, however, an older lady fell backwards and hit her head directly on the icy path with a loud thump.  I will always remember her and hope that she was OK.  Her husband attended to her, and I went to the Catz interview.

Electric Cars

 Initial thoughts on the UK's Modern Industrial Policy (published last month): it is dangerous for the Government to pick technological 'winners' with track records of successfully doing so being poor at least. The Policy, for example, further supports the development of electric and self-driving cars.  This is likely to be an expensive distraction vis-à-vis gas/petrol and hybrid options.
