Wendy grabbed it first, and my dad nabbed the Transition Handbook I bought last week, almost as soon as I had handed Ben the money, so it's just as well I borrowed a copy of Requiem for a Species at the steering group meeting on Thursday....

I felt a little bad that we were only giving him £5 each when we got there and I handed over the grand sum of £35, but then he sold 3 books at £20 a pop and I felt a lot better! Which one of you is reading that first?

Thanks for this Alex, it was great - really interesting and inspiring. Who'd have thought going to Borehamwood to pay to look at a toilet could be that much fun?
