So Wyatt’s comment rings some bells with me and not just because he suggested the very route we’re taking in Lichfield. One of the main motivations for taking the decision was reading Manchester Guardian’s founder CP Scott’s values and centenary leader article. I’m sure this is at the top of every journalism student’s reading list but having never been involved in journalism until this past year I’d never seen it.

I don’t think we’d be too worried if Michael had a different day job and, say, ran cookery courses in the evenings, though he might have to work out exactly how much oil he puts in his hummus. What about if he’d never earned a penny from cooking but made fabulous meals at home? Would his hummus taste any different?
