Sorry I missed this reply Tony....been practising my Waffling skills with Jorge....He's pretty useful at it too Wink. Think I'll invite him into the WGC Mk.2 Cool.

I'm off work for three weeks and will be giving it a wide berth till then, so will look for a Male then.
So Females are no use for ID'ing ??? Frown or was that a hint of irony I detected...don't know if that's the right word.

Regards (Regardless and without Irony), Roger
