Many thanks all and as for Fantum stating I can look forward to " to arthritis myopia hair loss piles tooth decay bad back, bad knees and flatulence ", I already suffer from more than half those bloody irritants / afflictions.
Just returned home after a great meal with Vin (his birthday is next Tuesday) our wives and one or two others where we dicussed (wait for it) the price of car repairs , annuities and the male's ability to iron in a happy marriage.
What happened to the days when we talked about football, women and drink?
Perhaps the world has moved on.
Cheers
Betsy
