In 2003, singer, Andre 3000 and OutKast asked the question, “What’s cooler than being cool?” And today I’m asking you “What’s more secret than ‘Most Secret’?”

No, it’s not Top Secret, it’s actually Ultra Secret. A phrase commissioned during the Second World War for a facility that’s activities were so secret, so important to global wartime intelligence, that even married couples didn’t find out for decades that they’d both worked in the same facility… true story. It wasn’t until the mid 1970’s that the work of the men and women of Bletchley Park was finally publicly revealed.

When I was born, “The Wall” was already 10 years old. As I sat drinking coffee in a Berlin cafe, it was almost surreal to imagine that during my lifetime The Berlin Wall had existed, been lethally enforced and had tumbled, reuniting two halves of one of the most interesting, vibrant and progressive cities in Europe.
