No Comment....No FT

I'd like to thank all those friends, colleagues and readers who have written to me in the past few days with such kind remarks about my Financial Times column. Yes that really was the last one but the FT tells me that there will be something in that space in future, written by one of its staffers.

I wasn't quite ready to give up the column but I was told that the newspaper had to make economies and staffers come before freelancers. I know how it is. It's going to be tight in the Donkin household too for a while so the FT subscription has had to go. No comment....No FT.
