A round of applause to the following:
Sue, Phil P, Swati and all at Hodder for their hard work on the book; Simon and all at PFD for making stuff happen; The Fitz for being such a great travelling companion; Euan, Jane, Jackie, Danny, Cath, Chris, Nadine, Vic, Elt, Ruth, Richard, Andy, Phil, Shelia, Alexa, Rod, John and Charlotte (for general mate/advice/family stuff); Arthur, Steve, Kaytee, Gary, Marcus, Ian D, Ian H, Jo, Amanda for being the Sunday Night Pub people; everyone at the Board for being there 24/7; and finally, for actions above and beyond the call of duty: Team Gayle.
