So, was there anyone there? Did the two above notables turn up and, if so, did they say anything worthy/of note/sensible/true? (Delete as improbable).
Landroger, this comment made me smile.
I've done a few searches and found references to his remarks with a few quotes but nothing of substance.
Would be happy to re-search and provide you links.
