title	A Trip to Libertyville, Illinois, USA - 31st August 2004
intro	It's a busy work trip to Motorola, at 1000 Technology Way in Libertyville, near Chicago, which only gives a couple of hours here-and-there to look around Libertyville itself - a rather quaint Midwest town in the state of Illinois, 40 miles north of the Windy City. It also gives the chance to fulfil a number of American clichés including a diner, a school bus and a fire engine. Eating out proves interesting because portion sizes are so off the chart that Nosher and Nick - both known as big eaters - can survive dinner by sharing just a few starters, and where a breakfast "short stack" is enough food for a week. But first, The BBs have a mini rehearsal in Nosher's spare bedroom, and there's a delegation from US company Qualcomm visiting the Cambridge office.
