Dear, oh dear, oh dear, MTed, if you think that's an insult you really are clutching at straws. If I wanted to insult you, you'd know about it. 'You godsquad people' is how we talk to the members of our family who are of a religious persuasion. They counter with, 'well you're the devil's disciples'. All taken in good part.

You obviously don't understand my robust repatree. That's how we talk here in Yorkshire - where we call a spade a bloody shovel. My adversarial style was gained in the dockland pubs of Hull on a Saturday night - together with the scars on my knuckles. I think you and Susan need to get out more into the real world. Just think of it as the modern equivalent of being throne to the lions - but remember the story of St Jerome.
