Hmmm ,the greedy partner Simon?
I'm thinking studiously; ahhh yes, it is most likely to be the big cold-blooded unnamed PF.
Mind you this is a guess without any emotions or petty jealousy involved but admittedly with a drab grey daub of commercial reality flavouring my guess.
Perhaps you are right and it is the little JV partner demanding more than it is entitled to but history tells me the big oiler is the villian.
