    I've only got about 60 records, mainly old classics like the stones, beatles, roxy music, marvin gaye, sinatra some reggae, a few soundtracks and then there's a load of 90s dance music that's fun to play at parties.

    Hey sounds good, I've got about 600 singles sounds like a similar range; mine are mostly 60s/70s, no nineties tho! What fun. Also have a fair few vinyl albums, faves are Beatles/Bowie/Elvis. I know what you mean re listening to them with a cup of tea....doesn't quite work!

    Beware though if you hadn't drunk in years then had a skinful a day or two before the blood was taken then this will show a high score, so its not exactly full proof!

    ....and if one's had a skinful every day for lots of days/weeks/months...incl the day before... I ain't gonna get away with it am I? Good thing too.

    You, my girl, are doing good, well done x
