There’s an old saying ‘be careful what you wish for… you might get it’. On a recent trip to Abu Dhabi, I had an over night stop and a big meeting in London. No big deal you might think, but the absence of clothes added a new dimension to the challenge. Ok that’s a slight exaggeration - I did have clothes, but only the ones I stood in. The problem (although I didn’t realise it at....
