Enjoy your festive season, if you can!As the northern hemisphere grinds through the coldest seasonal weather for 30 years, we are conscious that some of our readers will be stuck in places where they really do not want to be. So, if you are reading this in a snowbound car or freezing airport lounge, our thoughts are with you. For everybody else, enjoy the break! During the festive season we will report any bids that come our way, together with pertinent news, and expect to get back to daily updates in week 01/11. 51/10.
