I heard barbecue sales have been very strong in the UK over this lovely sunny weekend, and Jenson decided to join in with you.

We've already got reports that sales were down this last weekend over last year. I'm sure there's been an impact on tourism as well.

Most of these trades are short sales for short-term trades. And especially before a long weekend, you want to cover and go home flat.

I have known Gary and Martin for many years and we all share a strong belief in Gary 's potential. Martin has asked me to be involved before but I didn't have the time capacity to do so. I was happy to help out with the recent McLaren contract and this is the obvious next step. Martin Hines has done a great job for Gary to get him this far.

Nationally the uppermost sector of the residential property market has held up relatively well with the 26% fall in sales of £1m properties comparing with a 36% decline in total house sales between the first halves of 2004 and 2005.
