Peter D you are right it should have been in I digress in my defence I were very tired last night
Mike harding I didn't think that they were " instructions " rather points to consider from time to time
DD not sure if you need
1) glasses to read
2) a brain to interpret what you read
3) a sense of humour
4) enough common sense to simply ignore posts that don't interest you
