Subheading to the headline of an item announcing the shock departure of Tesco boss Dave Lewis:- "The chief executive said it was a personal decision as his replacement is named Ken Murphy." Sounds a bit drastic to resign just because of someone's name . Is he married to that mythical umbrella owner with whalebone ribs?

(yes, I know, the "as" indicates the timing of his statement, not the reason for his decision)
