Whoops!

I was at a do last night and I got talking to an older gentleman. As one does, I asked him what he used to do: he was in industry (he mentioned a famous name) and I enquired as to his job there. He responded, “Well, actually, I was Chief Executive.” :smack:

That was before the dinner and the drinks. Afterwards, I didn’t think I’d had that much to drink, but I could still feel the effect of the alcohol until after midday. I guess that being 40 now, my metabolism’s slowing down

I don’t think you need to feel like you 'woops’ed, unless he was the CE for the company you work for or something. Just because he was the CE of some other company, you’re supposed to know that? Nah.

Why do you feel stupid? I think you’d have to be a pretty keen reader of the financial press to know every CEO of every well-known company over even the last ten years.
