This from the Eminence Grise...
Perusing your amusing blog I was surprised that this gem from the Pink'un of the 3rd October had escaped your gimlet eye...
"Among admired repositories of institutional knowledge who have left since the government came to power are Mike Mitchell, director-general of railways, who was not replaced, and Jack Paine, formerly procurement director."
It will not surprise you to know that this sentence failed to make it into the print edition, which remains a paper of record.
