London Calling

A client of mine explained to me recently why London is becoming the financial capital of the world: time zones. A global manager can be in London, with managers in Asia, Europe and the US, and never be more than a few hours away. If the same manager were in New York, on the other hand, the time difference between her and Asia would be much less manageable, making London a more convenient and logical location. Looks like the Brits knew what they were doing when they set the time zones.

You might have already known this, but it's news to me, and if you're reading this, it's news to you, too. You're welcome, world!
