Our newest joiner is Mark Yeandle. Mark joins as an associate director to head up our “expertise on demand”, provisionally known as SpecialiZm. Mark celebrated his 40th birthday recently. Given the amount of free booze, as well as the promise of a bouncy castle, this correspondent couldn’t resist putting in a secret appearance. Apparently Mark’s parents have been desperate to get him off their hands for some time. This came to a head as mother June was heard to announce in loud tones, “perhaps we can now call him Mark Z/Yendle”, only to be roundly supported in disownership by father Geoff. Some mothers do ’ave ’em!
