    Can we enquire as to what happened to cause that change? (Genuine curiousity, here; not snark.)
    100.00% agreement. I agree with him some times; and strongly disagree on others. I judge each instance on its own - not because he said it.

    Hammer, nail and head seem to be appropriate words for this. As I've said, it is perceived value for money and the perception by many is that the NYMR is overpriced. And that's true of non-Yorkshiremen, as well.

    An acknowledgement that trust is shot to pieces and needs to be rebuilt and a little patience is needed.

    I've just spoken with Sawdust, and from what he has told me I agree that there is hope - but I think the discussion was an off-the-record one and needs to be kept confidential at this time. I think we'd all agree that it is likely to take some time for things to happen and changes to become apparent - assuming that they do! so for the moment I think it is necessary to sit back,, watch and support.

    A few none contentious points, not the whole two hours.
