Thanks Polly .The second message also did not arrive in my inbox so I investigated and found both in my Norton Antispam folder. Anyone know why this should happen as all other B&S messages go to my inbox Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: "Polly Rubery" <polly@rowberry.org> To: <bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 5:34 PM Subject: Re: [B&S] Royal Hotel, College Green, Bristol,prices in 1902 and 1937 (was Bristol Royal Marriott hotel) > Hi Tony > > Your previous message arrived safely in my Inbox > Polly >
