Hi Paulo
I have only just seen your post and am sorry I could therefore not have replied sooner.

I have to disagree with your view that I had misunderstood Constantino.

I had not assumed anything when I asked Constantino, most politely, and very briefly, what he meant by Continental Portugal in his presentation? He could have given me a simple answer and I would have been more than happy. However, I got a 'mouthful' instead before I could even duck! So, where was my misunderstanding in the first instance? I did not even have the time nor opportunity to misunderstand Constantino! If in doubt, please read his first reply to my very humble question.

I really would be very intrigued if you disagreed with the comment above.
Regards
Cornel
