That will probably be ok for me - London is only a bus ride away and

Yes, our grey literature dissemination system has just left its
unofficial alpha status and moves slowly towards public availability
(technically speaking it's world readable now, but I haven't told

with every report and will hopefully soon overcome the final hurdle -
spatial data. It would be great to see others taking this data and
making new things from it.

Cheers, Joseph
