Order, order!

Actually, no, wrong type of venue.

However, this is not a court room but a council chamber, in this case that of Newcastle under Lyme Borough Council. I had a meeting there this afternoon and the only room available to be booked for the meeting was this, rather grand don't you think for 12 of us?

We took the very central seats, it would have been rather odd shouting at each other from a far!
