    Not sure what you're point is, but why did you split your last post? I know how to post a thread.

    I don't think we should have overlooked a statue for Harvey.

    Apologies once again mate <ok>

    This is really taxing, making sure each character's timings/dress/conversations run in continuity.

    It's tempting just to ramble on, when you get your teeth into the action, but the slightest error renders it unbelievable.

    Like satellite dishes in the distance of Downton Abbey <laugh>

    It's a novel, based in the south of France, about the panic when the Euro was introduced.

    Thousands of wealthy, tax avoiding, French suddenly realised the vast pots of French Francs they'd hidden would become worthless scraps of paper.
    They only had a limited period to change them and couldn't just walk into a bank with millions of bank notes as they would be asked for proof of origin.
    I became involved in taking these people to banks in Lichtenstein etc where fewer questions were asked and money could be laundered.

    Might not sound interesting, to many people, but it was more exhilarating than a ride at Alton Towers .........
    ........ and almost as dangerous <whistle>

    To be fair mate, nobody puts statues up of people who haven't been born yet.
