All I can confirm is that Peter is on his way to Edinburgh right now, and will be heading back up to Glasgow at 10am tomorrow.

As for me, thanks to the equine DNA in the majority of supermarket produce I am now doing a roaring trade by going to the local abattoir once a week and still managing to do Peter's invoicing, accounts and VAT returns without any headaches.

As for the idea of Rico paying 99p per loaded mile. I don't think even the Daily Star would try that one on :-)
