glad to see you have your priorities right Cynners in so far as weighing up a place by the standard of eateries it boasts within its envorons. / depends on the female company obviously in addition,,,( OT,,,,) -> What with your line of work have you ever come across an outfit called Gall and Thompson - suppliers to oil ind. Currently is a subsid of Lup Cap (LUP) which ex Tomkins entrepreneur Greg Hutchins bought, and reinvented, as a supplier to a niche mkt of the building industry. Now ousted himself by a new board whose personnel all have a background in building and construction there is quite naturally talk of it selling off its oil arm G&T to concentrate on core activities ..Juste so happens G&T is is a positive cash cow bought @ a time when LUP was a shell under Michael Flight, Oliver Stockern and James Orr in 1990s .....Orr actually gave up his highly paid job as Barclays head bean counter with most attractive salary and fringe benefits to become FD of tiny LUP . Says it all really ........Also watch out for a soon to be announced floating of a company called Madagascar oil ......ACC. to oil guru/ author Peter Odell the country is sitting on a bed of the stuff.......,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,..
