Thanks a lot. Glad you liked the report. It's actually ''Bosham'' - an alias from P G Wodehouse's Blandings novels, which I use as my middle name. (Lord Bosham, though a viscount and a future earl, is supposed to be the stupidest chap in the Wodehouse canon and my friends tell me that he is indeed my alter ego!) Bosham (pronounced Bozz'm) is also a sea-side resort in Hants, UK. (King Canute was buried there.) So no problem, if you address me as Bosham. --- Harshawardhan <<<< Thanks Boshan (please forgive and correct me if I have addressed you wrongly) for these two references which I found extremely interesting All your contributions have been excellent.

This I always thought this a good point in his favour; especially his habit of tickling them behind their ears; the inane look of pleasure on a pigs face who is treated in such a manner has to be seen to be believed. I have to confess to never having linked Bosham, near where I used to live, with Blandings. Yours Aye Andrew Sellon
