Blimey, couldn't make it down to the bash (the perils of being a start-up) so was relying on someone posting the results. Thanks, Jon, you've made the Caley Merc's wee virtual newsroom very happy!
Hi Stewart,
Congratulations! It was me who was supposed to present you with your prize - it's a shame you couldn't make it.
Jeremy Dear did suggest putting me on a train to take the certificate and champagne up to Scotland, a plan of which I very much approved. Unfortunately it seems he was joking.
Instead, I'll have to shake your (and your team's) hand virtually!
Good luck with further development of the site.
best wishes
