Hear hear Col K!
I got the impression that those in the know about Dr D's self-advertising were content to sit back and think about next week's lottery numbers, did I put the cat out and are Bolton going to win the League next season.
The unfortunate majority were however forced to participate in a sometimes laughable but always tense game of one-upmanship in which there is always only one winner - the Doc.
I always found the tech refresher day to be the most valuable of the three-day format with CRM usually bottom of the league. While I am grateful for only having to spend one night in the Ramada Redbourne, the whole thing seems to have been condensed into a cost-saving exercise rather than anything of any value.
