I guess my point is that this is an international business with few real borders where anyone who's been working in FT (or wants to be) often knows people on both sides of the pond. This is especially true if they're working for the "authorities", who seem to be more mobile than us company guys. Even our respected moderator has been known to visit the Air Capital from his aerie on Salisbury Plain but unfortunately I wasn't in the office that day.
Glad to know that the disinformation is working well - I've not lived or worked on Salisbury plain for more than a few days at a time for almost a decade. (A few might claim of-course that this was the case when I was based there as well
).
That said, sorry I missed you in my week in sunny Wichita a couple of years back, would have been good to put a face to the name.
