Ok, just to clarify a few points:
It was 9.37 am when I was awoken, show and shine was my first thought, tho no-one chose to enter cos of the inclement weather.
Insanity had me on speakerphone on the evening, so I had to listen to all those *BLEEP*heads while I was sheltering in the Hondatech marquee. I was hoping to lay my hands on a hammer to smash my phone and avoid any further assault on the geordie dialect.
The gap Russ Swift initially attempted would have fitted a bus in(any video of that one?), 3pm on saturday so sober enough to judge

The gap was suitably reduced and both Claire Williams and myself approved of his final attempt

Cheers
