The 'GLAMOUR' Purveyor
One for Manic.
Dicky Desmond is not a pornographer - he's a 'GLAMOUR' PURVEYOR
Glad we sorted that out, then.
oh, and yet again this week I am reminded of Basil at his best.
THE GOOSE-STEPPER
Desmond is Britain's most eccentric press baron. He demands that a banana is brought to him on a platter twice a day in his office. He once ordered a female executive who was late for a meeting to stand in a cupboard (she refused and resigned). And during a meeting with Telegraph executives over the future of the West Ferry printing plant, he goose-stepped around the room with his finger pressed to his upper lip before unleashing a tirade of abuse about the Telegraph's possible sale to German owners.
What an all round well balanced induhvidual. *cough*
