Before the financial crisis, Londonism seemed indistinguishable from a broader British take on the world: freewheeling, relaxed about globalisation. The overall British view has now soured, while London’s remains outward-looking. Londonism seems more sensible in a world in which Britain cannot be too picky about how it earns its living, and dynamic people will be warmly welcomed elsewhere. It is a fittingly mongrel ideology for the cosmopolis.”

It still does well today and I train a lot of financial and technology firms.

If you’d like more information, go to erbut.com or email me.

With a 12-string, you get a fuller sound. It’s harder to pick the individual strings, but once you get that, it can sound amazing. (I am still practicing.)

It was great fun and I loved every minute of it.

During that time, I wrote mostly for the Financial Times. I’ve also written reports and articles for the Economist Group, the Daily Telegraph and a whole load of trade magazines. I was a news reporter on silicon.com, zdnet (CNET – now CBS Interactive) and SC Magazine at Haymarket.

I still write the odd piece if I’m interested in the subject. I write a few reports for friends from time to time as well.

You can’t open tomato ketchup sachets and small things – like taking batteries out of remote controls – is really, really hard.

Big keyboards, iPads and massive ketchup bottles are amazing, however.
