It’s a three shirter! 11 December, 2003
A piece on The Today Programme this morning about the upcoming European Summit in Brussels revealed the unit that delegates use to measure the likely length of the conference – shirts! Three shirts; three days.
It makes perfect sense, of course, but it tickled me and, it would appear, the journalists at Radio 4 as shirt numbers came up on PM later in the day. I’ll have to remember this one next time I’m off to a conference.
