Sail away
One of yesterday's disappointed smudgers describes the event:
"In the sumptuous surroundings of the Diplomatic Club here there were half a dozen throne-like chairs in the front row of a room packed with the great, and the good, and the media. The British Ambassador, David McLennan, was joined by a phalanx of sheikhs, all dressed in white, very expensive white.
"They did not smile, they clapped only politely and at the end they swept out, as one, without a word being said or a question answered. Their presence was all the seal of approval that was required."
