Jim Arbery
Well, he's been around the world in a plane and half way round the world in a ship.
He has never spoken to a king, but has passed the time of day with a pauper or two.
And of all the countries he has visited and people he has chewed the fat with has arrived at the conclusion that the basic needs of a king or pauper are similar; the difference being one of accessibility.
Likewise, in the job that he was associated with over many years, he had access to CEO's and first line supervisors, helping their organisation achieve whatever kept them in business.
This type of exposure has given the author a mine of material to call on, in a sometimes controversial way, but always with good humour.
