Sir Michael Lyons today signed off as Chairman of the BBC Trust, with a typically dull message to staff, which concludes....
The last four years have not themselves been short on challenge but I think we are the stronger for that. Thank you for your contribution and let me particularly thank the many of you who I have met, in the course of our work together, for the courtesy, enthusiasm and straight speaking that I have invariably experienced
"Thank you for your contribution" is already widely used in the leaving speeches which now abound in the organisation, this March, and probably every March for the next five years of the licence fee deal. I'd love to hear from anyone who managed to deliver Sir Michael some "straight speaking".
Now Lord Patten comes out of the temporary office he's been closeted in for the past month (with or without a tv ?) and ambles up Great Portland Street to embrace the 60-odd Trust staff there. Will leaving speeches ensue ?
