that just made me think of that scene in Carry on Girls where the Mayor of Fircombe opens the maternity ward at the local hospital and his wife wakes up all the babies ....

Have you practised your curtsey?

What ever you do, don't offer him your fork............he'll want to know where the knife is.....

[Madasafish]

Offer him your wheelbarrow for his expenses...

Didn't someone once advise - "just imagine them on the toilet"? Then you can see them as a real person, and hopefully less scary!

Good luck and I hope all your preparations pay off and all goes well.

I don't know - I've just run a day's training with teachers that I have worked with at their schools, and I still had a nightmare that my boss had rewritten my presentation without telling me and I woke up in a fever! And then stressed about the traffic all the way there.

If you weren't worried, then you should be worried - so it cancels itself out in a way.

Zaz is right, the old adrenaline is a good sign. You'll be fine, relax and if it does go pear shaped, laugh! Good luck with it all, let us know.

Phil just remember as a council tax payer you pay him! He should bow to you not the other way round.
