<p>Surprisingly, I managed to make an appearance in the business section of the BBC News website, of all places.</p>
<p>When I returned from lunch at the British Library last week, a camera crew were asking people to define various jargon terms used in the pension industry. Needless to say, the only quotation they have from me is the one I didn't know: trivial commutation (which I branded as a meaningless piece of unnecessary obfuscation).</p>
<p>Thanks to @lizith for spotting the clip and pointing it out to me. It's online at the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12195319">BBC News website</a> and I feature at about 2 mins, 34 seconds.</p>
