I'm eagerly awaiting more news of this group on our CS Intranet... LTS |

And for a couple of years, more recently, half my team of 6 were former morris dancers (one Cotswold, one north-west, one molly). And I'm not the woman mentioned in the article either. Kitty |

Didn't stop him toeing the party line over licensing acoustic music, though. I can't tell you how much I hope we'll see the back of him at the next election. Don T. |
