Thompson's giant bag

TS was down at Westminster on a typically changeable British summer's day, but the temperature was turned up more than a few notches as Jon Thompson faced Public Accounts Committee rottweilers.

As the new boy was given a tough time by the watchdogs and as they touched upon the fact that he's doing two jobs, TS couldn't help but notice the size of his briefcase.

In TS' humble opinion, Thompson could have comfortably fitted a baby elephant in the holdall such was the scale of the thing.

It somehow reminded TS of Mary Poppins' cavernous bag as he fielded questions from the PAC.

But then again, TS muses, if you're juggling two jobs, then you're going to need to have something sizeable enough to hold all those important papers, aren't you?

You never know, he might even have some qualified FDs for certain government departments in there somewhere….
