Mr. Benn never disappoints and this top 10 list is a great example of that. This is only for executives cuz councillors are away for the summer, they’ve taken a page out of Shopify’s book and no meetings… over the summer.
Kosmo, the list was generated by the venerable Mr. Gray, only “inspired” by yours truly.

Ron:
I thought that might get a rise out of you.
