Can't you see "them" sitting there with bated breath, fingers on the keyboard salivating at the thought???
Wouldn't you think that they had a plan B?? Do they really NEED $2 million for that "new" (VERY VERY OLD AND TIRED) block or was that $1.75 that the SIs chucked in conditional?
Another fascinating story that only penny dreadfuls can throw up. Bless them, such entertainment.
