Liked ab's thought provoking 28 and would have been tempted by rossim @ 20 if "initially" was omitted as it would have worked with qu = question and ugly as anagrind and read better but still a very good effort.
However aristo @ 11 pipping Paul @ 6 for me.

@ skyewalker, myself and fieryjack have decided on a jolly to Torrance this afternoon and will be in the Wheatsheaf just before 2 if you happen to be about for a pint or two.
