Thanks for a great read! I arrived here via Roger Haworth's site and, as an aside, I've a suspicion Scott (for Nine Elms) might be after Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the designer of red telephone boxes & Battersea Power Station ... Just a theory, and one I'm mainly sharing in the spirit of from one Scott to another. :-)
