One of their rogue traders - a, well, let's call him a CH fitter for want of a better world, was a man trading as B & H Gas fitters or something, without CORGI registration (dIMM has already admitted to not being CORGI registered) He got christened by Matt "The International Man of Mystery" and has a court order against him banning him from going anywhere near gas appliances. I wonder if someone from the BBC is lurking in uk.d-i-y and has a sense of humour ? If you want to watch it, I have it on the HDD and can make a DVD for you -- geoff |

And very pretty in your pigtails and pink gingham pinafore I'm sure you were too. Not especially, nor were there pigtails for me and pink gingham for anyone. Spotless white aprons or green lab coats protected our bottle green gymslips. At least they taught you how to use apostrophes correctly. Yes, would that it was considered as important now :-( English grammar and spelling and Latin were the best things I ever learned. They weren't the only lessons though.
