Sir
Upon hearing the lunch time news today I made a special journey to Cleveleys to see the refloating of Riverdance and have attached a picture recording the scene today at 1.45pm!
Bye for now
John

You misheard. Colin Sykes said that a decision on whether to refloat or break up the vessel was expected within next two hours. We didn't say it would be refloated. I've just checked back on the recording and we are definitely in the clear.

Lighten up Jim, I'm not about to sue you, but thanks for your reply anyway; let's face it, your news report did get me out of the house in to the fresh air and sunshine which can't be bad!
Who is Colin Sykes? It was your regular news reader that I heard, perhaps you were looking at the wrong tape, if you're still using tapes!
Bye for now
