Regarding Simon Kuper’s piece on how to survive a conference (Opinion, FT Weekend, April 30), in my regiment we had an admirable way to stop officers droning on prior to lunch.
The solution was to give all officers a pre-lunch drink on mess funds if the meeting ended by one o’clock. We never ran over time!
