Tomorrow morning Angels flies (wings discreetly folded under Sander tailleur) courtesy of Lufthansa Regional Airways, from Warsaw to Rome.
Clearly the Europe of the Regions is up and running (well, flying).

Good to hear you've broken radio silence.
Hello S, the roar of Polish is quietening in my mind and is replaced by the roar of rage, about taking money, that's in all the Sundays.
And Northern Rock is up to £30 billion and not finished yet.
It must be some kind of Marshall Plan for northern England.
Actually, if Judt is right - he says:
"..as an equivalent share of America's GDP (it consumed about 0.5% of the latter in the years 1948-51)... a Marshall plan at the beginning of the 21st century would cost about $201 billion" , then $60 billion+, for a demutualised former building society in provincial England alone, in 3 months, is incomprehensible within the terms and explanations offered by the Labour regime for this level of tax-funded expenditure.
Your life is so thrilling HG, I do hope you wear dark glasses and a trenchcoat.Here I am stuck in Croydon its like being Miss Moneypenny.
Poland is very formal, N, and unnervingly beautifully dressed - in velvets and silks and flounces with boots (I wouldn't put it past the men either, though they were wearing suits on the outside). There were these large dogs where we were staying, that looked like yeti with brown shaggy fur all over, even in front of their eyes and absolutely huge. I was often found trembling in distant bits of the house as they are designed to herd sheep and other easily-led creatures of a nervous disposition and kept tidily penning me up.
Croydon, as ever, is the eye of the storm with the property development shenanigans isn't it?
I am not aware of any storm HG , I only work here . I`ll look into that.

Very funny HG.
Wasn't the Minerva property development and Prescott's department calling in/not calling in (escapes me which) planning permissions for multi-storey blocks a Croydon-based affair?
