Well. I trust Trevor McDonald to tell the truth.

Well done. I see you're following my example..

Yes... Gran, Menthol Claire and myself will be jetting off to (hopefully) sunny Marseille to sleep on the ground for 5 days, or if we're lucky, sleep on the floor of a reconverted ambulance.

I'll send you a postcard!

Your go MattB
