What is the point you are making here? It was offered to at least 2 groups who
declined it. Can't you accept that.

It will be back at Didcott to meet up with Flying Scottsman in May so I think
you are just wasting you time here. A rush of enquiries, so what, how is that
going to stop it leaving? It has been formally given to the GWS, all that need
to be done now is delivered. They are raising 80,000 pounds as I write this to
cover transport costs.

Another joke from you right? How much lobbying for funding have you done in the
past?? I can tell you that steam trains don't get much money , then again if
it's not Olympic Games related, nothing much else does either.
