Hello Carol I don't think you can say people were wingeing, I think Roy expected a 'thank you' for all the work he has done for you. Me................ if someone had done so much, or even a little, to help me, I would be shouting thank you from the rooftops for all to hear. Perhaps you thanked him privately and I may be wide of the mark, if so I apologise to you. Kind regards Judith K Carol Groves <bluebell64@optusnet.com.au> wrote:
