Jerry, that has just cheered me up no end!. Especially the bit about 7 cents - you've got as much redtape over that side of the pond as we have. Don't you just love 'em?.

How about throwing a Sand Party?. Invite all your (fit) musical friends, get each to fill and carry out front a couple of your hefty bags and then reward them with a song circle and a little light refreshment?.

In fact, if you were to sing around the sand you could call it a beach party!.

I'll go find my bucket and spade................
