Agreed and I meant "smart-arsed" in the way I've come to know that species of Brit-wit that specializes in it's matter of factness. As I said it was "well-taken and , knowing what I had just opened my post up to, I'd have been disappointed had I *not* gotten this " Well ,on behalf of the entire United Kingdom, you're quite welcome" response.
