Damn! I am a quick reader, but not that quick! I will certainly give it a whirl. I did think that I was being quite reasonable though. I do realy know how to behave and, more often than not, will behave with the upmost respect for anyone I meet and talk to, regardless of sex, race, creed or any of the other millions of things that people have 'isms' about. At least I hope so. I am of the opinion that everyone deserves respect until such a time as they prove otherwise! Most politicians fall into the latter category and I hope no-one feels that I started this thread with any agenda other than the one I stated.

This thread obviously has some elements of the blokishness that Diane mentions or she would not have said as much. If I am guilty of the same I do apologise sincerely and would like to know how I can avoid such a thing in the future.

Diane?

Cheers

Dave
