I was very sorry to hear today of the death of Lord Kerslake, who was the former head of the civil service amongst many other things. I knew him forty years ago, and found him a very pleasant chap, although I'm not sure I'd have believed anyone who told me then that he was going to go on to have the career he did.
I'm also not entirely sure that I believe that he was only a year older than me. Yet another indication of one's own mortality.
