I had to moderate myself Toddy. Redact my opinion.

Eh?
I may have done myself a dis-service.
I wonder if you (and maybe others) read it in a different tone of voice in which I 'said' it?
In hindsight, I can see how it might come across in a poor way, but I assure you all (and especially Scottie) that it when I wrote it that it was being said in a friendly, jokey, manner - such as you use when talking in the pub.
My absolute apologies if it didn't come across like that - the fault is all mine.

I always try to insert a smiley if I'm joking; my typing can often come across more 'terse' than intended!

@Wander it's all good :)

Someone pointed it out on a typewriter to me, I responded with "hah, yeh alright" until he convinced me to look and I thought it's a fun little bit of pub quiz trivia..
