"calling it" too early rather spoils it for everyone else.
Exactly. Just think of it as a bit of a chicken game! I have good information that while SRB was really excited at the idea of his engineers having secretely invented the first glass bottomed birds, he went into a state of fury this morning when he learnt that as part of their effort to regain posh business traffic from 'full service carriers', Easyjet was about to announce her own successful negotiation with Airbus for the first giant order of 500 new convertible planes. They negotiated such amazing discounts that they will be able to launch a new campaign "fly to the sun in a convertible for just £1 more" starting 1 May.
