Quite a few, I think, Jazzo, if you let people include their grandchildren in the count.

..can't we just be people?

I'm quite happy being a female alien, thankyouverymuch

(aside to Jo: I'm under the impression Hilary, of the Lancaster Rhubarb Commandos, is a ... how you say in your language... "bloke")

it probably means that you have a life!

Not kidding - I leave the board for only about 60 hours (to crawl around in the Welsh mud digging some foundations for a new 'withdrawing room') and get back to find there are more postings than I'll ever catch up with!

By the way, peeps was intended as a ref to the catchphrase of a character created by the UK comedian Harry Enfield, whose wonderful Greek referred to everyone collectively as <peeps>, being short for the asexual 'people' - which of course is why I used that one being careful to try to not upset anyone.

After all, it's no fun (no fair?) upsetting someone without meaning to...

As I have, for much of my life, staunchly defended the principle that in almost all activities the gender of participants is totally irrelevant, I will cite the Fifth Amendment.

For those who find it necessary to know such things, there are, in any case, plenty of clues in my postings from which you might deduce my gender.

BTW, I am not "of the" Rhubarb Commandos, I "am the" RhubarbCommando - isn't "commando" one of those words whose singular and plural forms are the same, like sheep.
(Like that of sheep, I should say: sheep are not the same as each other, before any smart-arse makes a thing of it)
