Every event of this kind needs a boring old fart. If you don't have one yet I'd like to apply for the position. I'm very well qualified as anyone who's read any of my posts or replies can confirm. I'm not at all hen-pecked, I'll just have to ask the wife if I can go. By the way, "an hotel" is perfectly acceptable gramatically. Told you I was well qualified. Camping seems a bit rough, so think I might have a tow bar fitted and buy a caravan. Well maybe not, but a B&B might suit me better; not getting any younger you know.
