It seems September was optimistic but there are signs today that work is about to start. I wonder if the finish date will be put back 2 months too.

But your post is time-stamped 11.06?

When I'm logged in, the forum time is GMT which is awkward but I can cope. But if not logged in, the forum time is BST. I don't know what happens to it in winter.
