To add a bit more, Y&Y obviously had nothing to report on today so they did an article on "mavericks".

From the Website: MAVERICKS
Britain still has them but America has fallen out with the business maverick. High profile business people who shoot from the hip, think outside the box, and take no prisoners like Richard Branson, Chris Evans, and Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary can be enormously successful. James Woodhuysen, Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Patience Wheatcroft, the Business Editor for The Times, and business maverick and author Michael Anthony Jackson, attempt to unravel the maverick’s success.


They interviewed three people and then had a pointless Y&Y discussion.

Wasn't paying any attention and then "wibble, wibble Peter Wheeler, Chairman of sports car manufacturer TVR...wibble wibble"

He said a few uncontentious things about doing things his own way......

.....and that's it. Excitement over. Move along now, please...
