The other day on Holywell Street, I backed up without looking properly and put a couple of pedestrians at risk. This was bad driving. I was at fault.

The man gestured to me to lower my window and yelled at me about my bad driving. He was completely right, and I tried to tell him that I agreed and was deeply sorry. However, he was too mad, and he stalked off without hearing my apology.

And then boy was I mad too.

The New York Times points out on the front page today that “Recently, Britain lost its place as the world’s fifth-largest economy to India.”

What an odd statement — not mentioning that India’s population is 20 times greater.
