LUNCHTIME CONVERSATION

At lunch, I tried to make conversation about my first-hand experience of energy use in Africa.

"When I was in Kenya earlier this year ..." I began.

"Your company certainly pays you well to send you to exotic places."

"Well, not really. I was there on holiday," I defended myself.

"Even better. You can afford to pay for it."

"Actually, I was working only one day a week then."

"Only one day a week? and you can afford to fly all the way there?"
