	Push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. Pull the stick back, the houses get smaller (unless you keep pulling -- then they get bigger again)

What REALLY CONCERNS ME is the statement that they intend to "Decommission 27 VORs" when the text of the INFORMATIVE LETTER states that they will be "reducing the number of beacons from 46 to 19".
That's a TOTAL of 27!

The text also states that "the rationalisation is planned in three stages with the first nine sites scheduled for decommissioning by 2013, a further nine by 2015 and the final ten by 2017."
That's a TOTAL of 28!

Has Maths changed so much since I left Blighty? Or am I missing something

!

BTW, where/which one will be the 28th?
