I'm afraid that I'm guilty m'lud (and Adrian) of top posting. Agree with Laurie
for me it is easier to read from the top rather than scrolling down. No doubt
that preference of others is due to mailreaders??

(Top posting as he knows no better!) Have a beer tonight and forget about
thisngs Adrian. Hope my wife has got me a few bottles of Wadworth 6X in - my
favourite brew along with Conniston Bluebird, Young's Chocolate Stout and Hen's
Tooth. Better stop now and get on with the work - I'm salivating too much on
the keyboard!)
