No. It's because I had nowhere to host the PDF file in order to post a link to it.

Ah, sorry, I think we are answering different questions: the correct answer depends on what was the cause of JDAW1’s enpuzzlement. I had assumed it was our non-use of his placemats.

Recently somebody asked me for cufflinks, and I didn’t know whether we had any more. Well, we do. But who was that somebody?

I do know whether we have more, and we haven’t. The last pair of cufflinks went, this morning, to CPR.

Some lapel pins remain, but not cufflinks.

I have enquired of the original supplier about the cost of a repeat order (with small variations).

Small variations:
• An extra 1mm of white space around the edge;
• Allowing rounded corners; and
• Slightly thicker metal.

The beautiful people of London have been fluttering their eyelashes at me optimistically. Being married, of course I didn’t notice.

Yes. Remind me just before the next physically-present tasting.
