It has been quite a while between drinks Fergus Downie.
A pleasure, as always.
I can offer no greater gratitude than to ask that you write more.

Drink is the lubricant of all great civilisations. Good to hear from you
Fergus, this is a fantastic and beautifully written piece. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to channel one’s knowledge and passion and righteous anger as you have done here. Bravo!
Dan, very kind of you, and glad it spoke to you. Best wishes
