Thank you Michael for your kind wishes.

Oh dear, does one need permission to make a joke on a thread now? Most threads on most forums drift a bit (or a lot) and certain posts trigger a funny incident or item from one's past. I think this mirrors normal conversation among friends.

To get back to punctuation (or lack thereof) the double-glazing van opposite has returned, complete with redundant apostrophes. I'm so tempted to get my red pen (never without one!) and 'correct' the mistakes. I might even give the chap detention.
