A little follow on from my previous comment. One of the joys of writing these reports live is that everyone can chip in as we go along and it makes the whole thing far more interactive so if you’re reading my reports and feeling like you cannot comment along the way, have no fear, I’m more than happy to hear from everyone!

And now it is time to close off the night with another coffee and a Courvoisier XO
