    Some element(s) of the bridge 42 repair (the initial report wasn't very detailed) - either the propping (if there is such - see below) or the repair itself. I say "propping (if there is such" because the 'Essential Maintenance Work' document...

    It was a great day for both groups. I must have bumped into you at some point Sheff without realising - it would have been good to say hi. Perhaps next year as I fly back tomorrow.
