I’ve been dealing with a lot of anger recently. Not just my own, but clients too. Then there are my friends, who seem to be falling into all sorts of fights, for reasons about which they have no idea. And, as for the wider population of the UK capital’s population, well, it’s hard to know…

I had a client once who was particularly proud of her determination. She was someone who kept on going come what may. You know the old saying: “If you want something done, ask a busy person”? Well, that was her. She was reliable, contentious and you knew she’d deliver miracles if you only had the…
