And so I meet George Yeo, the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the gym. He is earnestly lifting weights. Everyone gives him a very w-i-d-e berth, just incase and so do I. And then I have the good fortune to meet him again in the gym’s lift lobby. We are by now freshly showered, powdered, and cramped in a small space. Unable to restrain myself, and needing to fill the enormous vacuum, I blurt out what I later realise is the oldest pick up line in the world
“So… you come here often?”
