<div>Amr, Glen, all,<br>
<br>
Thanks very much indeed. Sometimes the so-called "quick questions" prompt the most discussion! Volker, rest assured I'm not planning to create havoc! I'm unexpectedly travelling today so just wanted to be sure that I vote on time and do so in line with instructions.
All good on both fronts.<br>
<br>
Best wishes to all,<br>
<br>
Heather<br>
