LOL - hi Robert - I can quite understand your initial bewilderment! If =
you take another look at the page, you'll see that Grant has amended the =
caption for me which explains things a little.

It's rare that I get access to the portals of British Government power - =
I'm a journalist, by the way - and I'd just been at a launch for =
Faithworks, a UK church-run social project initiative, at No 11 where =
the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer hangs out (the man who controls the =
money). I took my upgraded MP2000 along, and recorded some of the =
speeches as well as jotting notes.

We had a sudden photocall outside, and given the sober and serious =
nature of the occasion, I decided I'd best keep my Newt in the case =
rather than flash it to the camera with a cheesy grin! So that's me far =
right, trying to look like I mix with this kind of company every day of =
the week ~:p

Now I'm planning a pic in a public place where you actually see the Newt =
without its overcoat on ...
