At which sector conference was Private Bin taken aback by a little inappropriate nudity?

Private Bin doesn’t consider herself prudish and prim, but something seen at a conference got her lips firmly pursed.

It was at a hotel so upmarket that precise piles of neatly rolled clean white hand towels were provided in the bathrooms for drying one’s hands.

An establishment so fancy that the biscuit selection spread out at afternoon tea was wide-ranging and even included some chocolate-coated delicacies.

So it seemed shockingly out of place to spot one presentation chairperson speaking to the conference-goers whilst barefoot.

Proudly displaying feet naked as the day he was born, he had the blackened cracked heels of a true outdoorsy bloke.

But Private Bin understood somewhat once he opened his mouth – he was Australian, only over here for a few days.

We don’t mean to be too posh but on this side of the ditch mate, shoes are de rigeur.
