Liz, Lake Macquarie seems like a twit. Maybe laughing at his/her own jokes. Self entertainment I guess. As far as I am concern, this forum subject that I opened is CLOSED. In respect to the normal people it seems that this subject has been raided by the joker. Please do not respond to this subject anymore as it will go direct to my spam mail. Cheers and thankyou very much for your help.
