Re: "red letter day ??"
Sitting in the pub in Norden after the sponsored walk I approached David O'Neill, who to his credit had joined us for the last leg. He was exuding confidence the whole time I was speaking to him. I said that many of we supporters were going crazy for some reassurance re. the tax bill, and asked him if he could oblige. He said, that on a scale of one to ten we were on a nine. I then said he must therefore have an "arrangement" with HMRC. to which he replied with a nod. I cannot believe, after looking me straight in the eye, that he will not deliver the goods next Wednesday. What happens subsequently is another matter.
As I had imbibed a few pints by then, and the pub was very crowded, I didn't pursue matters any further, but thought I would post on here with my findings!
