Hurrying back to my office across Soho Square yesterday I found my path blocked by a young man holding a microphone attached to a walkman: "Hello, I am interviewink for Cherman radio...can you tell me vot you know about Angela Merkel?".
"Nothing much", I pleaded, keen to move on.
"She's the leader of the opposition party in Chermany...they are havink elections next week..."
I flashed him my best me pela look, but his own expression was so priceless I almost wanted him to ask me some more questions on Germany-related topics so that I could demonstrate my blanket indifference to them too.
