PwC joust with E&Y
Peter Wyman and Gerald Russell were deep in discussion when TS bumped into them at a dinner. TS floated the plan to split up PwC into two, always an entertaining topic of conversation when Wyman weighs into the debate.....
He responded in typically bolshy manner: 'Split us into four and we'd still be a match for E&Y, eh, Gerald?'
'That's presuming you are a match for us already,' came Russell's lightning-quick rejoinder.
Unless the duo had been charging towards each other on two war horses while dressed in full medieval garb, TS couldn't have imagined a more perfect example of jousting between two knights of the accountancy round table.
Sir Adrian Cadbury had the best line of the night, though. He received honorary membership of the ICAEW, an award he said would irritate his daughter. 'She has spent years training to be an accountant, said Sir Adrian. I just had to come to dinner.'
