nafod Cheers, mate - our outfit is indeed an AOC operator. I'm aware of the "cut-off" point and the attendant niceties, but hopefully your contribution to the discussion will help others
Fortunately (hooray!) we currently operate under the prescribed limit.
Sadly (boo!!) we are EU-based and expanding so we won't escape for much longer, however, I'm (completely and selfishly) delighted that it will only be my problem for the next eight days; then some other poor sod gets to deal with it.
All I need is another job, now...
