I know that some family sayings in Michele's family have been illluminating and caused me to smile. One relative many many years ago apparently 'got' a ladyfriend of his into trouble and she was delivered of her baby at the local private hosptal, the name of which had Onslow in the title. To this day, if someone does anything that they shouldn't, however serious or trivial, someone will remark that they will have to 'pay for the Onslow'. bfn Alan
