Snail....if you want to be defensive, that's absolutely fine by me! I made my point that I didn't think generalisations were useful, there was a clarification which I fully accept and we moved on.

Stewart,

I would be interested to know what sort of figure you would consider to be a good audience? Some of us (me included) this side of the pond are busy congratulating ourselves on reasonable attendances.....but what we consider good, you might consider poor.

Thanks

Paul
