    Am knackered and going home now.

    No, sorry, LIR, never been the WI sort.
    If anyone watched Jennifer Saunders "Jam & Jerusalem" series (set not too far from here) I'd probably be the Pauline McLynn character ;)

    I like the fireplace. I prefer things too big to too small...or even the right size.

    I [STRIKE]think[/STRIKE] hope RAS is just using poetic licence.;)

    We can't afford to lose postmen around here:
    • one cuts hedges/digs ditches with his tractor
    • one does fencing/tree work
    • one services Agas and other oil fired heating systems
    ........all at bargain rates. :)
