When I saw the picture accompanying HSJ's story about my move to the Department of Health, it made my day (news, page 7, 12 February). I was very impressed at how young and fit I looked, despite my 55 years, and how my hair was not as thin and grey as I thought.

I was brought down to earth by my wife telling me I had not looked like that even when we first met in 1992. I will have to send HSJ a more up-to-date picture. Oh well, back to the gym!
