    No reply yet, I'm afraid :rolleyes:
    How stupid of them to put those 2 dates as options!
    I did point out to them that the official date is 20/03 this year and asked if they would therefore accept this as the answer.
    Hope I haven't put the wrong date for people. I did have a good look at several sites on google before putting my answer :o
