Personally I think Petes first reply was much more valuable to Eda than the average "Congratulations".."Im so happy for you,blah blah" type of post..

Now,Eda has some REAL information and opinion without the usual rose tinted filter attached.
She can now digest this info and arrive in the U.K with both sides of the story to depend on..
I also noticed that her reply indicated that NO offence was taken,so what exactly is the problem?

Best way to chill out : Truckers breakfast at the blinking owl cafe !! and a paper, nice piping hot cup of tea and 2 slices, what do you think Fred ?
Sounds like my cup of tea Pete,but try it without the newspaper..
These journalists are being paid to wind you up.
