direction well known to Shakespeare fans, but it came alive the other day for one of the Department of Transport's senior civil servants.
I hear that Martin Albu, head of the DTp's road freight division, was more than a little taken aback when he performed the official opening ceremony at Abels' new furniture removals depot at Huntingdon.
No sooner had he apologised for having to read out a speech containing what he said, with all due modesty, was "the kind of rubbish that I used to write for Ministers to read" than Abcls presented him with one of the blue mascot teddy bears it keeps for county shows.
It must have made an interesting companion for him on his helicopter flight back to London.
