And although Mr Walsh is likely to have fantasies about strutting through his terminal on a whim, popping in to Gordon Ramsay's for a light snack ("just put it on my monthly tab, chaps, and don't forget my customary 6.5% for yourselves!"), moving about to enjoy free waste heat and non-potable water, dropping by Tiffany's with the little missus for a special something on consignment, thinking with a deeply-satisfying chuckle about how he's gutted LGW to pay for it all...

Right, I'll go OLCI now and just move along...

(Did anyone notice a flaw in my story? Notably that a senior BA exec would ever leave Waterside?! )
