Any success yet with the maths problem?
[An old joke comes back to me: How did the constipated mathematician solve his problem? He worked it out with a pencil]

Apologies. I will update lenders in the next 48 hours with where we are and our plans going forwards. There have been a lot of moving parts and we want to ensure that lenders are fully abreast of everything.

Sorry - it has just been observed that this sounds "ominous"! It wasn't meant to be .

As usual.... any questions then please contact me directly! ablrateandy, many thanks for the comprehensive update and for your obviously considerable personal efforts in the last few months to adjust to the new circumstances and re-purpose the business. Your plan to repay undeployed cash and then to trade used containers with the balance makes good sense to me.

Thanks . One day, over a few beers, I will look back on this year and give a rueful chuckle..... because it's been a year of unchucklesomeness so far and I have a lot of catching up to do! Anyway, the key is that everything is "on schedule" for lenders and in fact ahead of schedule if you spread the costs over five years. Apologies for the tardiness on the update but over the next quarter we will start to open up a lot more. Coincidentally, I just had someone ask me for a price for 50 containers so hopefully the January delivery won't be on our hands too long!

I've just got out of hospital with a bucket load of pills having been told that I had a heart attack… 4 weeks ago in Spain. Luckily, I had undertaken some bioengineering and grown a new artery to bypass the blockage† which kept me going until I ended up in A&E last week. Which is all rather splendid, as I had a total blockage of the left anterior descending artery, commonly referred to as the widow-maker. Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. † news.yale.edu/2013/04/29/growing-new-arteries-bypassing-blocked-ones

The way you have dealt with events to keep the investment largely on track is commendable and inspires confidence. I'll now stop hassling you about the SM for now . I hope you manage to have a decent break over the festive period - it sounds like you need it!

Merry Christmas.
