I used to work for a company whose managers and directors were all sent on a teambuilding p*ss up once a year (I briefly held the "most guinnesses before vomiting" record- it gained far more peer respect than these outward bound courses where you argue abour how to build a bridge out of barrels and string). They were quite pleased to be able to get the number of planes down to three, by working out how they'd allocate the responsibilities of each person if they were lost, then making sure those who got that allocation weren't on the same plane.

You haven't been on here long have you Studio!!! my post was just my usuall playful tit for tat with Rindi. I'm quite aware that even this Govenment wouldn't be so thick as to move the whole shooting match together (but there again they did think two and a half percent of VAT would be wonderful, when most retail outlets had already reduced prices by up to 50%) but why did they need to do it at all. You can bet your bottom dollar that if a major bank had have arranged a meeting in Liverpool at a cost of £200,000, World War three would have broke out.
