Are you a diagonal thinker?

Heard yesterday about a new tool developed by the IPA (trade association for advertising) which helps you to discover whether you are a diagonal thinker. That means that you have good lateral thinking skills (creative) as well as good linear thinking skills (logical). The advertising industry is looking for people who have both and are therefore diagonal thinkers. Apparently the online test takes about 75 minutes. See www.diagonalthinking.co.uk

We're Moving

Well the boxes arrive on Monday, and we're doing some serious recycling to avoid having to pack 4 years worth of stuff. With some trepidation we are moving to County Hall in Glenfield from our country house retreat in Birstall. We'll be at Room 500, County Hall, Glenfield LE3 8RA from 24 April and should find out our new phone numbers shortly. Emails will remain the same. Will the county hall canteen live up to its reputation?
