Where I faced serious questioning. Sounds serious, but it was actually to take part in a fun quiz, as guest of my friend Kate (who owns Christchurch Tower

The Bank’s staff were raising money for two charities- the RNLI and I think Demelza house (a childrens hospice). It was very well organised- had to be with 300+ team members in 60 teams plus a hot supper and drinks. Our team probably came about middling in the ranks, thanks in part (he says modestly) to my love of pop music.

One round had photos of people and you had to name them and whether they were dead or alive. We clearly jinxed Milton Friedman who was on the photos and was supposed to be still alive. He though had different plans and kicked the bucket yesterday.

It was a great event and good fun. We’d have scored higher if I knew more flags of the world… d’oh!
