@C7RKY for a start it might give insight into the beginnings of life. Energy, mining and possibly things not even thought of... -
@nw_nicholas Fair enough. Although I'm not yet convinced that such expensive speculation can be deemed value for money vs current needs here -
@C7RKY but every single technological advance has started with exploration! We have to move forward. I agree, hunger should be addressed too -
@nw_nicholas Indeed. But you're a financial services man. You'll have heard the phrase 'protect before you prospect'. May well apply here.. -
@C7RKY I'm not a financial services man and I haven't heard that expression! But I take your point. It's a balancing act. ..... -
@nw_nicholas Oh. Are you not? Forgive me, sorry. I took the inference from your focus on HSBC. 'Ass out of u & me' springs to mind. :-/ -
@C7RKY no, I worked in the law and blew whistle on dishonest practice by my employers on behalf of HSBC -
@nw_nicholas Oh, I see. Hadn't appreciated the source of your insight up to now. Makes sense...
