Hiya miya, It appears that I have been misunderstood. This is entirely due to language and culture differences between our great countries. (I sound like George bush now!) No offence meant, I was joking! You can call off your Cooter now. I'll be even more frightened of opening mail, what with the bills, the tax demands and the begging letters! I will definitely stop sending out the begging letters now! |

For those of us who don't know, it's an eye opener just to hear about some of the c**p that's part of your job. And in case you feel stuff like that is thankless, I think I speak on behalf of everybody here when I say THANK YOU for putting up with stuff like that as all part of the job. |
