I heard a lovely anecdote today about Sir Alex Younger, the former head of MI6, who has died at the age of 62.
Around the time the James Bond film “Spectre” was coming out, there was a private viewing at MI6’s HQ in Vauxhall with some of the production team and actors, including Ralph Fiennes.
Alex Younger compared the event, which included an opportunity for members of the audience (who were largely real life spies) to quiz the actors and producers.
One person asked Ralph Fiennes: Who was your favourite Bond?
He gave an answer about how they were all good, but his favourite was Daniel Craig. The rest of the team said similar.
Then Alex threw the question back to the person in the audience who had posed it, asking them who their favourite Bond was.
But before this person had time to give an answer, someone else in the audience shouted out: “You, sir!”

The individual (a former diplomat) who shared this story with me said it was one of so many examples of how admired, liked and respected Alex was by his colleagues.

“He was one of the best chiefs”.

@markchristie @2still_learning You’d have company. ANPR zones can do one.

When OCC's consultants were asked to predict the impact of the congestion charge, they modelled the likely impact on road speeds. These findings didn't make the report's final cut.

Here's some of their unpublished findings, focusing on road speed impacts (to the nearest 1 kph).

@SamanthaTaghoy @Robinson_IP She found a 30 zone in Oxford. Illuminatus…

If you elect to walk your dog in the middle of a day like today, do it in a parka with a scarf... and barefoot. #PSA

@OxfordshireCC So if you live at one end of Thames Street, yards from the Zone you don't qualify for an unlimited permit. If you live 50 feet further you do. What an ill-conceived, ideological, moronic, money-grabbing, business-wrecking fallacy this proposal is.

Whilst you pay for Ryanair, Rail Tickets and indirectly Stansted, you are simply excreted by each of them, until they’re forced to admit part of the service they sold you doesn’t work, and your plans require three times the time to get to. Splendid.

@markchristie Dad was first to convert to carbon, and smoked his club mates, even though he was the oldest guy there. He just converted to electro road bike… and smoked them again (but he’s 84 now so I think they’re just impressed he’s still going!).

[Mark A. Pritchard @markapritchard]

@markchristie @SeasideChris Excellent news. This is within the spectacularly well considered permit demands. It's at least twice as thirsty as my current wagon... but rules, y'know... https://t.co/TsSofNe8Wq

[Mark A. Pritchard @markapritchard]

@markchristie @SeasideChris Oh it’s definitely having an effect. I’ve lived here for twenty years and have never seriously thought about buying a Hummer. Until this morning.

[Mark A. Pritchard @markapritchard]

@markchristie Oh that’s just epic news to get. Seriously?
