Ham, sounds like we'll be closer than ever this next weekend. If I wan't skint, I'd make a trip up to Cardiff to see you (and possibly Derek?)
Rufus,
It's GREAT to hear from you and to know that you arrived safely.
Yes, you need to watch our TV Licencing people - they drive around in specially equipped detector vans and can tell which properties have TV sets - even, I believe, if they are switched off. The penalties not not having a Licence are quite heavy. It's all rather Orwellian really, but we Brits have grown up with it - and it, thankfully, keeps the BBC free of Commercials.
Rufus, do PM me with your 'phone number and address so that I can call the "skint" one for a chat. I'll be back from Welsh Wales later on Monday.
