It’s not often I share stories of me sitting on a hotel toilet: but stick with me. There was music playing when I was in there, and I liked it. I knew the tune, but couldn’t place it.
As I washed my hands – it came to me, as did the reason it was playing. It was the opening refrain of John Barry’s You Only Live Twice, a classic James Bond song and perfectly apt, given that Ian Fleming’s time working in this very building for Britain’s Naval Intelligence Division during the Second World War was his inspiration for super-spy 007.
