This is me standing in front of one of the nation's most famous Rollers. The number plate AMS1 should give it away. It's Sir Alan Sugar's motor. The entrepreneur (and hirer and firer of apprentices) is, I've discovered, a chum of the man who would be Britain's next prime minister.
I鈥檝e been speaking to those who鈥檝e grown up with Gordon Brown, who've worked with and debated with him for a Radio 4 documentary called What Does Gordon Really Think? (to be broadcast on Saturday at 11am). Friends can often, albeit inadvertently, be more revealing than enemies. Tune in to see who else has interesting things to say about the character and the views of Gordon Brown
PS My kids were very disappointed to learn that his boardroom at his low key HQ just down the road from Brentwood station in Essex looks nothing like the glamorous modern office suite on the penthouse of a city skyscraper shown in the programme. Is nothing real in TV?!!
