I feel a bit for David Eustace, doing his best to explain his sums while his audience is head down, tapping away to this place

I found it very useful.
I'm mostly tapping away on my notes for Cambridgeshire.

It seems rather ironic that I've just been reading about this case of a collection of rare books sold off by a university:

My discussion paper got bypassed for second meeting in a row owing to lack of time, my attempt to discuss the forum/ board minutes fell victim to lack of time. Have to laugh...

104-103 on the membership vote by the way. Think the board was in favour, most of council against.
