Set the scenario of a closed office in London with all of the power brokers in a confidential meeting. They are sworn to secrecy as any outcome must be released to market by all companies involved and simultaneously.
**EXCEPT**
The secretary who is taking notes, the tea boy with the jam and scones, the lunch lady serving the sandwiches and the receptionist putting through the calls from some high placed executives wanting to talk to the board.
They all have friends, contacts, brokers and telephones available in the adjacent office and they did not agree to any secrecy. Its no wonder that board room discussions filter out to the market "unintentionally".
I wish I was on a first name basis with the tea lady.
