Bumped into Baroness Peta Buscombe at the bar in the Imperial Hotel last night – Peta is the CEO of the Advertising Association. She told me that last week she had attended the Labour party conference, for business purposes only I hasten to add.
I asked her how it had compared to our own conference. “No where near the number of delegates” she said.”No real activists as such, a very corporate affair, focused, driven and very smart – so glad I wore my Armani” Priceless!
I am about to take her to my friends on a local council estate for a cup of tea. They will love her and she will have shown them how to whip up a smoked salmon Blini from a loaf of Mothers Pride in no time!
The rest of the night consisted of a dinner and a round of hot receptions.
