    .. wipe, fold in half, wipe again

    If you tell them you are cancelling to go to Virgin then they will try and keep you, and vice versa.

    They keep giving me a better deal and large discounts.

    What's more, the oik at the other end probably gets commission for your getting a discount. Everyone's a winner.

    In fact, even imagining repeats of Blackadder in your head while waiting for the bus might get you in trouble.

    Make sure you are on good terms with the person who books the meeting rooms.

    Then you can get advance warning on when the longer lunchtime meetings are going to take place, and when they have finished, you can dive in the room to clear up any left over caviar or bolly.
