I see, John. My use of "Virginia" was following my perception of Mudcat conventions; for example, "ArtfulCodger" is often abbreviated "Artful", though this is not his first name. I noticed that she writes "neighbor", but the scene does seem to be set in the UK, does it not? Where parcels from Gemany are not (yet) subject to customs?

Anyway, humor or humour, some have it and some do not. I hope I do not have to add that I know many decent people from the Subcontinent.

Still waiting for the SONG CHALLENGEes - where have all those poets gone?
