>But thanks even more for that lovely story.
and all the stories were sort of true except the presiding voice
in fact the driver said something like Come here, my beauty, but that can be misunderstood - he actually stressed _beauty_ so it was of a piece - if one isnt used to the usage - e.g. the fishmonger greeted me today _hallo my lover_ which means only that she recognises me
anyway bugger the bid and on we go
