Fraid not. It's important not to mistake not dropping the ball for adding value. Not crashing is hardly akin to say, engineering a takeover, stealing a march on ones rivals or delivering earnings above expectations.

You said it yourself, what we can do is subtract value. Leeway to perform in the opposite sense is, well, I was going to say non-existent, but I'll be kind and go for limited.

The industry and the regulator do care about safety. If nothing else, a lack of it would mean the end of viable business and our core position within it. Time to drop the beer and sandwiches approach to all this I think.
