Biba chairman George Nixon must be mischievous. For the Biba conference dinner on Thursday he sat AXA UK chief executive Peter Hubbard next to Folgate chief executive Andy Homer. Even though under the terms of AXA's deal with Folgate, Andy is not allowed to talk to AXA for a year. Backchat wonders what they talked about. Probably West Bromwich Albion.

Homer is a big fan and said he was going to lock himself away in a cupboard because he couldn't watch last Sunday's promotion - clinching game.
