There's a rather nice pub in Baggot Street. Hopefully some of it will be going there.

good on him. this is the start of the exodus for companies of this size and nature. When Browns government puts in such punitive measures what do they expect?

I'd like to hear him explain to all the WPP employees where that 'saved' £204m will be going...

Not really. Many WPP agencies employ at one level or another, creative people, some of whom are rather good. I do get the point though that being 'big' doesn't give one a default position of being 'better' - it takes some effort, orchestration and care to keep producing the goods. That can be very stretching.

Isn't linking WPP and 'creativity' a bit of a stretch?
