Return from Egypt

Many thanks for the e-mails wondering why the blog hasn’t been updated for a couple of weeks – as some of you guessed, I’ve been away – templing and toombing in Egypt.

I’ve come back to the normal pile of e-mail in my inbox, and am working my way through the e-mails as quickly as possible as I’m off up north on a project for the next few days. Somehow I think the weather will be somewhat cooler than the 30C I’ve been used to....

In my absence I note that a number of my predictions have come to fruition – notably the Capita/IBS acquisition being referred to the Competition Commission, and a spirited defence by Gladstone against Constellation’s opportunistic 25p bid. I’ll comment further when I’m back from the frozen north.
