  3. Hi Alastair
    I met you on Wigmore Street last Friday night. You are much more attractive than I expected. It was a pleasure to chat to you. I admire your strength of character and balls of steel. I haven’t yet finished your book The Blair Years but have enjoyed it so far. Hope Mr B was in good form on Friday night! Cheers CB
