@That_Ged Middle of a snowstorm in a tiny Canadian town called Leith on Sea. We were trapped inside a car with bad snow. Fella who dug us out with an army behind him was from Bootle! Even gave him a lift home afterwards. Boss!
Congrats to @MiriamBrett and @L__Macfarlane on the launch of their new non partisan think tank @FutureEconScot.
Thanks for hosting - loads of good chat afterwards and people really buying into your exciting vision for Scotland.
Good luck with the work & research 📈
My glass is half full. I guess I must have drunk the other half? Thanks @Erikkaburgh@pressjournal for a most sympathetic review of my 31 @kpmguk years. Wonder what the future holds? A wire brush apparently… Enjoy @Bob_Keiller et al. https://t.co/k2doOmSWzB @RoryBrown7
