Tell it like it is
THE FIRST guest on Ricupero Live is Ken- neth Clarke, who says: 'My policy this year has been to put my feet up, and it seems to be working rather well. I told Eddie that, but you won't find it in the minutes.' In a rare public appearance, Lord Weinstock explains his strategy at GEC: 'What's wrong with money? I like having it. Who? Oh, tell him the cheque is in the post.' Roland 'Tiny' Rowland says: 'You know what I wrote about Fayed A Hero From Zero? Well, here comes the sequel — A Shock For Bock.' From British Aerospace, the chief executive, Dick Evans, asks: 'Who needs this fat new wind-up aeroplane? Don't be so silly, we do.' Robert Horton complains: 'I should have done what Bob Reid told me and picked up my knighthood on the way in.' Alan Greenspan says: 'We central bankers can do wonders when the Treasury is paral- ysed. I told Eddie that, too.' Ernest Saunders says: 'Yes, much, much better, thank you.' Bill Cockburn of the Post Office says: 'Pri- vatisation? No thought of fat contracts or stock options has crossed my colleagues' minds.' Sir Michael Richardson does not say anything, but word seems to get out, just the same.
