"Hewn" a much under utilised word these days.
PS: I believe you know my business partner - Charlie Milarvie. He says Hello.

Thanks Stuart, it certainly would be perverse if Livingston manages to establish itself as a social media hub, but glad us London based cads are allowed on the network at all!
