Tarnation take it!
After weeks of ticking off the days to going aborad (well, Wales is another country after all), I'm now double booked and won't be able to make the trek. I'll be with you in spirit (and wine and beer) nevertheless. And, if I could order a badge, I'd be hugely grateful - give it to any of the madder London 'Catters and I'll settle up with them.
And have a bloody wonderful time every one of you!
