Some days are diamonds, some days are stones, as John Denver once sang. Some weeks, there is so much happening in the industry that it’s hard to work out which story to run first. But this week is a slow week - a bubbling-along week. And after some of the turmoil of the last couple of years, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. A bit of normality is, indeed, desirable - and many in the business world wish for nothing more than predictability. So in that spirit, enjoy this week’s offering which is guaranteed not to cause too much concern to anyone.
