10 Downing Street

Today, I had a pleasant suprise. I was asked to take 2 of my biggest clients out to a private tour of the art collection at 10 Downing Street. Who would have thought I would see the inside of the residence of the Prime Minister of Great Britain? After passing through tight security (actually, the name on the door was of another colleague and the machine gun totting policemen were quite satisfied with my simple explanation that she was unwell, and I am me, as proven by my new South Wales drivers licence), and xray scans, there I was, at the doorway many have only seen on television. The tour was not the most exciting thing Ive done in recent memory-the guide gave detailed explanations of the portraits of important English Politicians adorned the walls of this 500 year old building, as well as the old and new furniture, state rooms and silverware. however, it was definlintey a surreal feeling, to be here, inside this house of huge political signifiance, flanked by 2 MDs from Goldmans Sachs.
Shame we were not allowed to take photos to commemerate this occasion!
