Apologies - wrong topic, now posted here!
What an ingeneous lot you are. A high quality selection for you, votes to me by Thursday 2.00 pm GMT, which may allow some of you early risers in US to vote on Thursday. I am away Friday hence the early voting. I may get another round in (if I can think of a word), but then I am away for 3 weeks so I'll have to pass it over anyway.
Good luck! Rod.
