Ann: Chairman's Address and Presentation to AGM, page-162

Sorry!

Your research on this point is impeccable.

A few points though. This is AGM season and I have been very active generally. I can't see why this error has any substantive effect on what I'm saying. (It would have been picked up by a paralegal or at the proofing stage but I don't always remember to cross check each and every point because I'm in a chat room not in court). And in the mass of information I've been ploughing through lately, I have actually repeated it. Horrors!

If someone corrected me previously and I failed to notice it among the crossfire, well I certainly apologise.

All I can say is I'm human. It seems people are in dire need of this proof. I have admitted previously to other errors, which you can read back and enjoy at your leisure. I also admit to being stupid for not taking profits and trading ADO. There were extenuating circumstances that I won't go into. But yes, stupid me!

I'm yet to meet someone incapable of making an error, or even not noticing and then repeating it when under an information avalanche.

But in terms of strategy, in terms of the bigger picture, I am pretty sure I've been adding an alternate view and dare I say it, substantial commentary? How you feel about this I'm not sure, but I'm guessing you're not a fan of these efforts.

Meanwhile I hope the auditors will continue to deal with us in the absence of Stanley, a point raised by the Chairman at the AGM when he asked people had they thought of that before they voted? ( I think he might have allowed himself a moment of irritation there. He's only human, see?)
