"I am here from head office and I am here to help you". I am somewhat concerned about head office taking too much power unto itself and head office always believes it is there to help you.

I like name-dropping and a couple of years ago I met Vaclav Klaus and got to know him quite well. He is now President Vaclav Klaus, having been elected President of the Czech Republic last week. During the period between the two referenda on the Nice treaty, when I spoke to him about where we were going, I discovered that he was not at all in favour of the treaty. He is a conservative and was unenthusiastic about it.
