Hi Winco, I know the HLF said that they hadn't been asked and Dr P said they had hence my question could the approach have been made to different offices?
It always seems as tho' I'm defending them doesn't it? That's not the case I just question where people get the info from..
With regards to the decision about funding my understanding is....
The appeal was schedule to run for the whole of October. The Trustees met [or had a conference call] last Thursday and because they were confident that the funds could be raised by last night, judging by the rate at which the daily funds were being raised, they gave the go ahead.
I assume it was scheduled for Thursday so they could give bad news by Friday if that's the way it was going to the work force, as that would have been their last working day....
Whether you believe the timing worked out so well is for you to judge!! I can be as sceptical as anybody - but I have no proof it didn't.
