In my last job for the Met Police, we had a ‘wall of binders’ containing all sorts of plans, schemes, and standing instructions. Those binders used to drive me crazy. But they were all ‘Met Blue’, and had they been as attractive as your binder, might not have been so boring after all.
Best wishes, Pete. x
