ANY ATC GUYS - HEEEELP!!! from a bmi pilot!

I know this is a repeat but the last thread got very nasty!

I just wanted to know, if I am told to:

"DESCEND FL200 LEVEL 45MILES BEFORE BOVVINGDON"

Does this mean:

a) Descend when I am ready to meet that level constrain (eg. could be 5 mins or so!) or.....

b) Descend NOW as you want that level vacated. I can adjust my rate of descent to meet that constraint. But leave the level NOW!

Hope this is not a silly question? It was not covered on the last thread.

Cheers!
