I believe that is a key requirement when reading 'speculation', wherever it may be.

Have we mentioned BA Refund Helper in an article? No, so stop complaining :-) Do also please note that I am currently paying the full salaries, no furloughs, of 3 people whilst not paying myself, on income which is running 80% below usual.

We couldn't do the JFK thing today because we'd already pre-published 2/3rd of the Wednesday content early, during Tuesday, which left us slot-constrained today! Will probably run it tomorrow.

Early warning that there is an outstanding deal being launched tomorrow (subject to final confirmation) which I can't cover first thing but will drop in during the day. It will also cause much gnashing of teeth though.
