Ann: Letter to Shareholders regarding Annual General Meeting, page-3

It is perfectly reasonable. I do not know what you are on about. How else could you keep away all those ghastly ignorant people who ask questions. Especially the riff-raff who populate Hot Copper. The substitute of Zoom would be a horror, bad enough listening to their whining, but seeing them face to face as well would be way beyond the pale.

.and just for good measure be ultra cautious about letting anyone come in with a sniffle. COVID dontcha know. Bound to be a rip-roaring meeting.
I wonder if any HC folk will be there to report back on how many turned up and if there was anything of interest. Anyone? Anyone without a sniffle that is.
