Oh Lordy!!!! And when I came home today I thought that Group4 still hadn't got their act together & left the door open by mistake ;D
In fact, it was a Fiendish Plot to get me here to clear up the confusion threatening to overtake our Cyber- Lottie?? A Mares-tale, indeed...
Right then!!!! ... this is quite easy to follow ... ;D ;D ;D...
1) Biblical Sue (daughter of Mary), who later went all Gothic on us & is now 'Palefire' (may her flame continue to shine out over the Winter Landscape of Never-Never Lottie-Land), said 'd**n* on the Beeb Board...
(after, may I say, a long wind-up thread contributed to by, amongst many, Double-Dutch, Tim?, Eric?...oh! and possibly, just possibly, myself... ::)
