Whilst I have never spanked a work colleague or client…

…OK, only once…

…I do enjoy making toppish comments in meetings, with a perfectly innocent expression on my face. (”Kinky? That? What do you mean?”).

Two such observations cropped up in the past 48 hours. First, to the delegate who persisted in chatting about the *most* inappropriate topics to her neighbour as I was trying to re-start a course after a break. She’d been warned; it took the following to restore her concentration:

If you’re not going to behave yourself, I’ll have to send you out of the room.

And then a dinner meeting this evening with a colleague (and long-standing friend) who was accompanied by her partner. She made a very brattish comment - inevitably I reacted with:

Behave yourself, young lady.

The blush and the glance she threw in her partner’s direction (so similar to Haron’s expression when hearing a startle) left me in little doubt that she was familiar both with the phrase, and the consequences.
