TS has got a week off, thank you very much. Due to your all not being in the country and not reading this, there's no issue of Accountancy Age next week (it returns on the 25th August), which means (sigh) that TS may be at a loss as to know what to do over the next seven days.

Perhaps an over-by-over cricket commentary would be useful for followers of the Third Test? Perhaps TS will engage in some in-depth investigative journalism? Perhaps TS could use the time and the bright sunny days to go out and doorstep some of the big names in the accounting world (TS has a few pressing questions to ask, oh yes).

If anyone does have any suggestions, could they let TS know? Those nice people over at Accountancy Age will pass on any e-mails to letters@accountancyage.com.
