Yes I was disturbed when I saw this on the GRV site a few days ago. I really do hope that this works out as well as possible for Jason and Seona. I have dealt with Jason only once (when I was working), he seemed like a really nice guy.

As a matter of interest/concern only, can anyone tell me whether there have been any more developments with regard to this matter.
