Hooray! My week is really starting off well. I have been gran(a)ted a personal response from the great Michael Granat. It's a first. I shall put this moment away in my treasure chest to savour during dark moments for the rest of this week. Yes Michael (G), I guess I have been polluted. Sometimes I don't know my zeds from my zees. When I was there, I tried hard to convince my US colleagues to localis/ze respectfully for my home region and then I absorbed so much of the local (USA) culture I lost all my sense of categorisation!
