Nice report! And now I remember you sitting on the steps! Was I wandering around with no shoes on? I bet I must've looked like a scary nutter, when in fact I just had hellish blisters from my route marches round Oxford that week.
Murray's talk might well have been very good - he did one on Stewardship last year at Birmingham and he knows how to put a good argument together. He's also a barrister though so he gets very complex and I think 9am was a bit of an unfair time to put him on, as frankly its a scary time, especially following the apocalyptic drunkenness of the preceeding evening which left a fair few people a bit ruffled and bog-eyed. We were actually in the maggie Thatcher centre at 9am getting first dibs on the goodies in the dealers' Room. Greedy capitalist pigs eh?
Try Waterstones for the Bob blackman book - that's where i got my copy, and they still have some in in our local branch.
