    Is it any good Beanie? I'm catching up with programs on the recorder whilst OH is away (well, actually he's just landed and is due home at around 11pm this evening) .
    Claire, I think the daily chat has been very quiet for the last couple of days.

    Think as elfen says in the main its that they do jobs that our people wont do.Some of the Brits dont have a particularily good attitude.
