Agreed, but in my experience it's easier to talk about this stuff  
_before_ it ever becomes an issue, and by talking about it a bit  
hopefully we can maintain that long into the future.

I stuck a draft up here:

We have had a bit of a chat about it, in my view, job done..

Sounds like a plan.

Apologies for any offence caused :)
