Which all leads me into the main point, most of us who participate in this site are looking for a few minutes with a cup of tea and a little light humour, for which most of us are grateful. long may it continue. Thanks. ARB. ps <i>I never make spelling mistakes, only typos - "Yeah Right " I will remember that one, I may be able to use it myself !... </i> Hello Rod ,
