Open Mike - as the original poster, may I say that I'm with Richard on this one - the event was an English one, the dating was English, and the contents of the first post made it _quite_ clear what actual date was intended. Posting dates in the American method certainly would not make the dating clear to all outside the bounds of that particular country - I personally find the American back to front usage of the numerals very confusing... but this is even more off topic than the thread about the actual concert, which I'd much rather hear about!!!
