Actually I assure you this is not a wind up. I sent 10 e mails last Sunday to the people on the BMAA FIC list at their listed e mail addresses. By today, I have had just 3 replies which were all negative. I have followed up 3 more by phone which were also negative. I live in the Midlands and ideally wanted somewhere in commuting distance so had left out Scotland and Portugal for the moment. There are not many left.
