Comes in Three's

I've had a transport themed week. Wednesday I interviewed Anthony, the 21st Lord St John of Bletso at his home in Wimbledon. As well as being a sitting member of the House of Lords for the past 30 years - he was the youngest Lord in the House at the time - he was on the sub-committee that investigated rip off mobile roaming charges that eventually resulted in price reductions being mandated by the EU.

Ready for the off! It makes compete sense to use the Scooter for the trip to the House of Lords. From Wimbledon to Westminster, via all the back-doubles known to man, it takes just 15 minutes before security raise the barrier and wave us through to the car park.

He is also the Chairman of SpiriTel and has a working background steeped in ICT.

Interview over he asked me if I would like a guided tour of the House of Lords. "Oh, Yes please," I said.

"OK then, we'll go now; I'll just get your crash helmet." Yep, Lord St John of Bletso rides everywhere in London on his Honda. Brilliant! Off we went and 15 minutes later the security barrier rose and we were in the palace car park. Nice tour by the way.

Next up was the Networks First partner conference at Mercedes World, Weybridge. Based on the old Brooklands racing circuit this was an excellent event for partners who had a mixture of PowerPoint and then Power out on the Mercedes track.

Could it get any better I thought on waking up Friday morning?

Correct, it could not get better. Sitting on my drive I could see the flat tyre on my car. Down to earth with a bump as usual.
