Don't mention it. You've obviously never travelled long distance in the company of the Chairman. He finds it difficult to rise early. Then the TV aerial has to be dismantled from the evening before. A few hours cruising. Then the TV aerial has to be erected. End of cruising. If you assume a 10.00 start and a 17.00 finish, minus the time spent doing the TV aerial and eating it leaves about 4 hours in motion! ;-))) Roger
