Gnomic Dave, you sound a decent spud, I liked what you said in the (related?!) thread about hunger strikes, and above all, you know how to pronounce "scone." On that basis I'll gladly entice you out from under the desk by explaining that each and every post has its own header. About 999 times in a thousand we all just accept the default when posting (which is the thread title). And whether we do or we don't, none of us read them, unless getting into the threads via the "new messages since last visit" quicklink).On the basis of which, Snuffy has chosen to challenge the wisdom of Max in laying on this so often spurned luxury.

More dangerous thread creep: On the way home from Crewe to Bilsthorpe on Tuesday, I paused in Bakewell to buy an original Bakewell pudding. Utterly disgusting of course, but I like to see these quaint traditions surviving.
