    It was the attitude behind the replies, all you had to say was; "Dear OP, this information is a little out dated but thankyou anyway" sort of thing, no need to get stroppy! :rolleyes:

    I take it your sense of humour bypass operation was a success then?

    Lighten up mate. ;)

    Every forum has the type of poster who believe it is their right to hand out stroppy rebukes from the safety of their anonymity. Just ignore them.

    Anyway this reminds me of this below which kinda puts these types of scam emails into perspctive.

    Generally, I hate the hoax warnings that get sent around, but I have to admit that this one is important. Please protect everyone you know by sending this to your entire email list.

    If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey and asks you to show him your bum, do not show him your bum.

    This is a scam - he only wants to see your bum. I wish I'd known this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap now.
