That's four hours 35 minutes to Save the World.  What are they all 
coming here FOR?   What can they do in that time with 20 countries 
plus a few organisations like the EU to contribute.  That's a maximum 
of 10 minutes each in the morning session plus 3 minutes each in the 
afternoon. .

The only communique which would honest and not already printed ready

The London Summit: 4 hours 35 minutes

Gordon's save the world summit next Thursday is going to be awfully 
short.

Leaders' breakfast 8.30am - 9.45am

Morning session including finance ministers and central bankers 
9.50am- 1.25pm

Lunch 1.25pm - 2.30pm

Afternoon session including finance ministers and central bankers 
2.30pm to 3.30pm

Closing press conferences, 3.30 onwards

o it's 4 hours and 35 minutes of formal talks plus time spent 
chatting over three meals (including Downing Street dinner the night 
before). And the British taxpayer gets not much change from £20 
million quid for the pleasure. Bretton Woods, when international 
institutions were last re-made, lasted three weeks.
