You're so quick to read sarcasm into my emails. I was working this out - I'm doing around 100 miles walking in 7 days in Morocco (plus 2 days touristing) so, at that pace, it would take me 16 days to walk from EC1 to get my pies but I suspect they would be cold by the time I brought them back to the next London PM meeting. I did actually send Holland's an email asking for further details - but they haven't replied (yet). I also found this: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/business/s/1066934_hollands_seek s_pie_tasting_panel which unfortunately says "The new MD is looking to select two people from the Manchester area to join a 12-person panel from across the Lancashire region to help ensure products are of the highest quality" which would make it a choice between moving to Manchester or leaving London PMers. I'll have to think about that for a bit... Chris
