Can someone based in Perth ie you WA pop into DW's office and tell him not to come to London for a while. Every time he does the SP drops on dilution.

obone - if your motives are entirely honourable then why are you deliberately ignoring the message from AST in the August RNS. Such emailed actions to ARSO are not helping.

So obone's motives in the light of this are questionable.
