Several days, not several weeks FOF. I'm confident that the parents will move pretty darn quickly to get them back. The first 124 were ordered to be returned last Friday. The rest yesterday. IF by the end of June, there is a news story which says that less than 200 have been returned, then by all means I will resettle this, but meanwhile, it's the common sense rule in play.

Hope that's ok with you, Lesley.
