I had the same reaction as you when I saw 4%. But then I thought about it a little. The electricity hedging that has kept us from taking full advantage of substantial price increases is finally coming off. Octopus looks wonderful. I’m also optimistic about Brent/LNG prices going forward. The consortium is considering paying $9 per share FOR A REASON. I’’ll be chuffed it it goes ahead, but I’m

I don’t think the recent government announcements are all that material…just one of the many slings and arrows we will have to fend off on a pleasant long term journey.
