Hi Diane Not a cat in hells chance of irritating me.....................or making a fool of yourself..........it appears I can manage that on my own....lol. Thanks to both yourself & Gordon in Ottawa, who picked up on my mistake. Unfortunately did the mail this morning, after being up most of the night with flu and a viral throat, not sure that is the only reason I did it, it does say on the paper I copied from (Cam Is) ......................BUT feel sure you are both correct. This is after all what the Lists are all about.......................learning curves, I learnt something today. Thanks both of you. Warmest Wishes Jan in Bronte Country List admin ENG-YKS-Bradford.
