But then I had to look at the IG site itelf, rather than just reading the feed, to be faced with a reminder of your own, infinitely more distinctive and distinguished image.

Hoping to meet Nick Cleg - will that do? Or is there something about Vince (conscius of his bons mots and general performance as actin leader) which means I should contact him separately?
