    The thread starter can't delete threads. I discovered this some years ago, when I asked about a book about 'worst case scenarios' as I was going to buy it as a tongue in cheek Xmas present for FIL who is a worry-wart about unlikely events. Unfortunately I thought the book was called something like 'what to do in a plane crash' and started the title like this, only for it to be the day there really was an air disaster and it looked really bad taste the thread so I tried in vain to delete it.:o

    That sounds like an interesting book! Did you ever fnd out the correct title? Fingers crossed there are no air crashes today!;)

    A few years later, I found a board game based on the book, I thought it was which I bought FIL. :D I never found the book but using google for what the game looked like, I think it was this

    My boss bought this book for me quite a few years ago.

    There's a whole set of them if you search for 'Worst Case Scenarios' on Amazon.

    I think mine might have been the travel one.
