This is a true story, I promise.
But I took my wife up the Shard last Saturday for her 40th birthday. I have the photos to prove it!
And as we were on the way down one happy couple announced to the whole lift that they just got engaged that night whilst they were up the OXO tower.
That my friends is a true story!

After work. That's 2 pm for journalists, 6pm for most people and 10pm for hardworking senior management.

[mistral]

I will be there

Ian, thanks for the bump. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday. It will be great to look back at what we've done this year, but even better to discuss 2015 plans. I shall be getting into cycling mode by Boris biking to the venue: All Bar One on the South East side of Tower Bridge, or London Bridge, as the Americans like to think of it as
