Timeless...

A productive day, with lots of great meetings and the back broken on writing a speech for next week, which has really been taxing my brain.

Tonight was at a work dinner, which was hosted by RBS in Edinburgh, in what was the private dining room of the now disgraced Sir Fred Goodwin. Now used for charitable functions etc, it's a stunning room in one of the city's finest Georgian squares. Also quite a fitting place for the dinner discussion, which was all about leadership!

It was pointed out that - in his typical dictatorial style - Sir Fred had overseen the decoration of the room. So you can imagine this clock caught my eye...especially when you look closer...it has no hands..it is, quite literally, timeless...
