i am thinking again about markets, supply, demand and so on. i would like to meet the guy at tesco who designs the fresh fruit shelf, and who sets the margins, follows the market pricing and so on. i wonder if he spends his days looking at curves and thinking about elasticity or if he has a better language for describing these effects. i am also thinking about voices - i need to sound more like david gower. and what about politics - i am too busy at work to spend all day looking at guido (cf the month of may), but i see that it is all going on. who would have thought jaqui smith would climb to such hights? does she have a nice voice? and what about the millibands? old ralph would surely be proud.
