Yep, but I learned a lot about leprosy that I never knew, including the facts that there are 14 million lepers in the world today, that it's not transmitted by normal contact, and that the drugs which cure it cost just £20 for a full course!

Just think, for a mere £280 million they could all be cured - puts the obscene cost of one day's war in Iraq and Afghanistan into perspective.

End of lecture folks - sorry!
