Not sure of the logic here exactly... Just a bleeding over from "in hand"? I did find some "with handsight" examples too.

I think in handsight you've realised this and the tone of your reply to the many of us Northern Oiks is to be commended.

For my liking, there was a little too much banter and not enough music, but much of the crowd seemed to enjoy this, and I cant help feeling that Sharleens definition of the difference between a cake and a biscuit, as used to describe a Jaffa Cake was compelling. (In a nutshell, if you leave a biscuit out all night it goes soft, if you leave a cake out all night it goes hard) Though in handsight, this shows what an accomplished act they are I was restless for more music!

I realized that the different balances, accounts, rates, or financial aspects to include in your business plan really depend on your specific business idea. Although this might be obvious in handsight, I bet that many entrepreneurs-to-be use standard financial sheets you can download from the web.

This thread is becoming altogether too serious. So, Scott passed up what in handsight was a very good deal.

In handsight, a scarf might have been a good idea.
