[TPIN] A.B.

[Glenn Bengry]

Mates,
 
   UK mates correct us if your American counterparts don't know what we are talking about(OK its not we, its ME)  
 
     I mentioned this when we talked about the Berlin Phil.  London Orchestras are not highly paid, are not large, and the musicians work a LOT.  Having 4 big time orchestras creates a fair amount of competition, but I don't know if that has any bearing  on the economics of it.
