As is pretty much tradition, Australia stops for the race and then doesn't seem to start up again properly until the next business day.
Therefore, we're stopping for the race and resuming the next business day. The phones will be unattended from 2:00 pm AEST on 3 November 2009. We'll be back on deck from 9:00 am on 4 November.
If you have any urgent needs on the afternoon of the Melbourne Cup, please call me direct on 0414 751 029. The office phones will also divert to my mobile during that time.
