I've got no problem with that - it's not a case of competing branches - I was swapping e-mails with Chris yesterday, and he seemed adamant it was going to be in Sutton.
In the absence of anything else, I would have given that a whirl, off the beaten track though it is, BUT, thought I'd try and see if Central London would work better. I've had a lot of interest on RAOTL and can drum up a few bodies myself.
Roy saw my thread on the RATTLE and started this, simple as that.
Upshot, working in the City and living in Kent, they are easier locales for me than Sutton.
