I didn't have to bite my nails hoping for a D0 on this round, because
the very first vote, from Dave Cunningham, hit the true JUFFER - the
square timber - and incidentally was the only one to do so. For a
long time Dave was in the lead with an unnatural 4, but the last vote
propelled Bill Hirst towards the next deal with a natural 4 for the
draft excluder.
Over to you, Bill.
