Very, very good. How many sold now? We are in the Virgin Club House at JFK, waiting to board our plane to London. We'll phone tomorrow. As you are going off on Saturday morning early, we need to discuss the travel arrangements for UKSG. Suggest leave Towcester at 6.00 am on Monday to Torquay. What do you think?
