Hi Nick

Must be catching - I, too, have a head cold (I find whisky and lemon/honey helpful, but not too much of the latter!).

I will be at Kew on Friday so will check that reference - many thanks. I understand several old cronies will also be at Kew on Friday, zimmer frames permitting, including Chris Shores, Norman Franks, Jack Foreman and Russell Guest - for what reason I don't know. Poor old souls, I doubt if any one of us knows! Perhaps they mean Kew Gardens?

Cheers
Brian (the younger)

PS: I've just learned that Uncle Tom Cobley is coming as well!
