There are moments when we in the British press can show extraordinary sensitivity; these moments usually coincide with the death of a proprietor, or a proprietor's wife.

We had moments where we handled their press well but then we just panicked. We need to get the ball more in the middle of the floor and take over from there.

We'll definitely be ready by then. It's been a full-court press to get ready. We've been blessed by some very good weather and everybody, from the very beginning, has been singularly focused on completing the project by opening day.

I'm scared to death to talk to (the press).

We have to break the first line of their press. If we do that, we'll be OK. If we don't, we won't be.

Looking back, some of the happiest moments of my childhood were spent with my arm in packets of breakfast cereal, rootling around for a free gift.
