    After a short day trip to Germany I hopped into one of the lifts in arrivals. As people piled in I realised I was standing next to Willie Walsh. Between just two floors there were literally seconds to say something profound but I bottled it and just inanely grinned in his direction.

    My (provocative) question is what would have said to him in those vital seconds?

    “You’re Richard Branson, aren’t you?”

    He’s not interested, so I would have said nothing.

    I suppose in hindsight I could have politely offered him a fun-sized chocolate from a pack (only one, mind you) if he didn’t want to go to the hassle of having an evening meal!

    I’d have politely asked him for a couple of stable lads tips for this afternoon’s horse racing. As an owner I’m sure he’d deliver a good return on decent odds.

    would so much like to say in a surprised voice…. “Hey, is that a willie I see before me”….. I am far too respectful though…. 🙂

    I would say, “Is that the popular man who is the chairman of a major airline standing there?” and then with glee when he looks up say no not you Willie you’re not at all popular …….

    I’d ask him if he was in the right queue to get into the lift.
