A small piece from Clement Turpin on Anthony via LinkedIn:
Anthony, you embody wisdom, exemplarity and constancy. During
all these years, you have always been a reference, a natural
leader, able to make the right decisions with calm and humility.
Your longevity at the highest level forces respect and will
remain a source of inspiration for many referees.

Perhaps our angry colleague holds to a piece of age-old wisdom I
once read on a calendar: the lowest form of wit is a pun made by
someone else.

The irony of this being that you (presumably unknowingly) are
the angry colleague we talk of ;D

And yet, ironically, on the BBC story about this move, the first
quote attributed to Anthony is, "I'm delighted."

Do you think Anthony was making the same unsubtle pun as was I ?
Only those who know him and his sense of humour well could
answer that.

Totally unknowingly. I normally steer well clear of these
horrible emoji things. Anyway, thanks for pointing it out and
apologies to Whistleblower and others.
