    Thanks very much Moneybot!

    You are most welcome and can I say it is refreshing to meet someone who is prepared to go back and edit rather than get all "grammar police" about it.

    May the lovely little pink fairy of comping sprinkle her dust upon you today.

  • No worries - I actually correct mistakes in books (in pencil) so I'm pleased you told me how to change it as it was bothering me too!

    Oh I so hate it when there are mistakes in books. Particularly when the book is published by a big company and it's had multiple print runs.

    If you are not originating from Scotland why on earth are you eating haggis in the first place?

    I thought that was a [STRIKE]punishment[/STRIKE] pleasure reserved for the Scots (or those of us fortunate to be married to one).

    No, but there aren't many and they tend to centre around companies that don't adhere to ethical conduct, whether engaged in phone hacking in the past, declaring their target audience "dead" or engaging in clickbait journalism. Those companies don't run comps often, if at all nowadays.
