as i wandered around the gathered throng i managed to have a few surreptitious words with most of my a team , who all nodded in agreement , although yet again teddy was conspicuous by his absence , anybody that dared to mention anything to do with the vintage aircraft to him were on a racing certainty that he would be in a foul mood for the rest of the day , he didnt like to play second fiddle to anyone , or anything , so at precisely eleven oclock i sat at the conference table , and around me were gathered my complete a team for its regular monthly meeting , and almost to a person in total agreement with item number 1 on the agenda .
