I'm reviving this, the second part of "the finest thread that has ever been started on the Mudcat" (Big Mick), to head people off from posting to the first part.

By all means read the first part (the link is in my first post above), but please remember to come back to this thread if you want to add anything. Otherwise the first part will become too long to be accessed by some Mudcat visitors, and that would be a shame.
