While we battle some error message demons

Eddie Mair | 11:39 UK time, Saturday, 8 December 2007

we thought you might like to hear an interview that "fell off" last night's PM. It sadly often happens...news breaks (in this case the end of the trial of Mr Fallon) and things we'd planned to run - and in this case trailed - get squeezed out.

The blog though lets them live another day.

Here is an interview we recorded, with the original introduction:

"What were some of Britain's biggest supermarkets doing colluding over the price of milk butter and cheese?

Asda, Sainsbury and some big dairy companies have been fined a total of 116 million pounds after the admitted price fixing.

Sainsbury's chief executive, Justin King, said he'd fully cooperated with the inquiry by the Office of Fair Trading and said the supermarket had never intended to do anything wrong: I've been hearing from Kevin Hawkins who speaks on behalf of all supermarkets at the British Retail Consortium."

    Just for interest,

    As John Graham, director of the survey and a finance professor at Duke's Fuqua School of Business, comments, CFO optimism spiraling down in such dramatic fashion is plenty worrisome because CFOs have a track record of accurately predicting future economic activity, and their predictions run one or two months ahead of other common economic indicators."

    With my ears attuned to Scottish pronunciations, the name of the Fuqua School of Business amused me.
