OK, so that didn't work...

... so apologies for that.

We were not able to have wifi access at York after all, and due to a modem fault, I was not able to get online and post anything.

Sorry.

Particularly as I had asked for wifi access in advance and was told that we would have it. And 'a bishop I know' was busy using his laptop on the York wifi in the chamber, so a little lack of parity going on there methinks... But enough said.

I did have notes at the time, but I'm afraid that they got - um - well you remember "the dog ate my homework sir"?

However, one of my colleagues did much better in the note-taking department, and I have their permission to place their notes from July's York General Synod online instead.
