On the subject of memory and treatment etc. I swear this is absolutely true... Some years back the Department of Domestic Arrangements decided to go along with a friend of hers to a new course on Memory Improvement which was being offered at a Further education college near us. They couldn't quite remember if the course was on the Tuesday or Wednesday night, so they decide to go on Tuesday, just in case. Fine. So off they go... When the good lady comes home she tells me the following story. They arrive at the college, but can't find any notices about the course. They ask around and sure enough, the office had forgotten to put up the signs.... Next they find the lecture room, and there's a few other people there already, but no lecturer. Half an hour later, there is still no lecturer. Eventually he arrives and apologises - because he'd forgotten he was giving the lecture........ The good lady didn't go back.

Think I'll stick to those old fashioned remedies like tying knot in my hankie... Now, if I can only remember where I put my hankie..........
