MudGuard - thanks for your most valuable advice - but have you ever seen a lead duck swimming? (Not leading, but the heavy metal.)
Skipjack - thanks for the soothing news; I'm keen to lie down next to Andreas - when I'm full of beer and on my back I'm an unequalled master snorer. So I could give it back to him for his most bloody advices about swimming to Hull.
