I take it that 'delegation' is not a word used at C.H. then ? The Counting House is not a body with an established reputation for management expertise. In any case, the only person to whom SR could have delegated is Sara and she ain't there no more. So for two weeks there has been no Chairman CHAAB...

Ah, but which half?

Go and sit in the naughty corner before I mediaevally extract every single little drop of your totally worthless, red fermented and preternaturally

I just knew the word "nuts" was a hostage to fortune, but hadn't thought of the Cooke connection.

What did you play, then?

How about this for a thought? Old Blues Day 2003 was combined with the Sir Barnes Wallis /RAF Foundation 50th anniversary and proved very successfull and this has given rise to an idea for another "themed" Old Blues Day. How about making some OB day in the near future a combined OB Day and...
