A question for Dave Hartnett (and Paul Gray)
I see that director general of HM Revenue & Customs Dave Hartnett is calling for questions that he will answer on the next series of podcasts that the department is producing.
I've got a question, though it's probably a bit off topic.
Why does Dave say in Who's Who that his recreations are 'food, wine, Marcus Tullius Cicero'?
I can understand the first two, but the third is somewhat eccentric, I think. He is a Latin scholar, his entry suggests, but is there more we can read into it?
Still, it could be worse. Paul Gray, the chairman of HM Revenue & Customs, lists his interests in Who's Who as 'family, walking, Wensleydale sheep.'
Again, the first two, fine.
Is there something they put in the water at HMRC?
