I'm sure I'm not the only person on this list who is tired of all 
the "he said, she said, they said" assertions.  I'm happy to pay
for the phone call from England (assuming your attorney isn't in

for a legal opinion in writing.

And I'm not at all sure that I understand why you are unwilling 
to pass on contact information regarding a practising attorney
