Trip to Wessex

I haven't heard back from Rebecca on this, but I'm sure she is busy. Do
either of you care to answer my question below.

I'm not sure what you have heard back from the crew in Bristol/Bath, but I
found them to be very interested in achieving maximum success. There was a
lot of learning on my part, but I'm now more convinced than ever that Wessex
is very much like our gas pipeline business. Even to the fact that the
internal regulatory types don't believe the regulators will approve it. I
have offered continuing assistance as needed (in fact have a conference call
setup for tomorrow). I was able to give them the benefit of my experiences
and tried to create analogies to our experiences here. In some cases I'm
sure it made a difference, in others the group may actually be in front of
some of our thinking. I think I can see an opportunity to expand the
thinking on both sides of "the pond" in the regulated businesses with just
some simple contacts and have promised to help them at least start
conversations with more counterparts in the pipeline group.

Let me know how you want me to charge you the travel costs. I can submit
the claim here and bill you or I can submit the claim to you.
