'wid some power the gift tae gie us - to see oorselves as ithers see us' - this is a (badly remembered) quote frae rabbie burns - i think.
however - no-one else needs to see this unless they really want to - and for now i don't think i can be bothered . good try to try to talk about this dwindling section but it turns out to be a great example of the problem and with no sign of a solution in sight.
