Comment: I am pleased that they don't hide their achievements but instead let the world know.

Last year, I protested to them about the lack of PR and they said they would look into it. I am pleased that Prof. Bush is the presenter.

As mentioned yesterday, I reinvested in PBT. It will take some time before the planned trial starts but that is the risk, I take.

It is good to know that PBT does find ways of making that waiting more bearable.
