He introduces me to about eight men in suits and suddenly four of us are on stage and the two beside me I don’t know from Adam. As they give speeches, it seems one is the Minister for Education and Science and the other the Prime Minister. Some girl brings tea and spills it over the MforE&S but it doesn’t matter because it’s his turn to speak anyway. More here.
