Visio Talk

I want to tell you how it felt to have a surprise limo meet me at Heathrow airport. Obviously I thought it was someone at the office trying to embarrass me and, in fact, it was organized by someone there but it turned out to be a good idea. On the flight over from Paris I was rather nervous and I was considering just ignoring the “meet and greet” and taking a taxi. I am someone who prefers to be inconspicuous. The very term “limousine” seems to be quite contrary to that. I was envisaging a long, white, brash vehicle and a chauffeur wearing a black suit. It even entered my head that I might be confronted with a Hummer limousine , something that I remember reading about in the Times. It is an extremely colorful vehicle, suitable for ferrying people to stag parties and rescuing rock stars from their fans, in my view The reality turned out to be very different, I am pleased to say. Cars for Stars did a good job recommending a Rolls Royce or a Bentley, I discovered later. And so it was a pleasant chap who met me and showed me to rather stately, not to say magnificent, silver Bentley Arnage. The seats were so comfortable that I was sorry when the journey to the City was over. I actually waited for the chauffeur to open the door so I could enjoy sitting in the Bentley for a little bit longer.
