Is there a correct UK English spelling? The dictionaries I've looked at don't seem to have a hard & fast rule.

I think it is 'advisor' in a job title etc and 'adviser' in other more general contexts. But I have just made that up. More to the point, are you and Liz in London this weekend?

Thanks Archel. We'll be in Oxford for most of Saturday. Might be around Sunday but there's also Daplyn family goings-on, I believe.
