Hi,

No I am not. :-)

You reversed the order of my sentences.
a. I would go through with it
b. (unless) [NB. I believe, and others will put me right on this, that the
latest piece of legislation said that you must have express permission
to put ...]

If second statement is true then first is false surely I can say that or should I
have used explicitlly *unless*.

================================

To get into the substance.

Now that Tim put loads of ICE on the idea (rightly so) would anyone like to
suggest to Clementine how she can break the happy news to the PR
department?

Remember bad news is the messenger's fault.

:-D
