My utter apologies to the OP and the travelling ladies who have have been conned (or at least let down by acts which are certainly not gentlemanly, not even commonly courtesy and civility). If somebody thinks this (doublebook, then casually cancel without even a courtesy notice to the cancelee) is acceptable, I would support a general motion of censure, for what is worth.
In the meantime, since this thread has degenerated to triviality in the meantime, I feel I will do no additional harm by sharing that the thread's title (not the subject!), since it came out, reduced me to helpless laughter as my brain has been forever branded by the CBCs history minute "last race of the Bluenose"

and I cannot hear the word
bluenose without the words ringing in my ears:
"Angus should nae have agreed to it ... she's too old!"
"One more time girl ... then ye can rest!"
Anyway, in recap. Bluenosing's bad. Keep it up, Winnipeg and you could become ... REGINA!
