Shame. I thought you might take the time to explain yourself.

As things are getting a bit boring in here, perhaps we could extend this
discussion to include land tenure? I happen to know that Torsten has
strongly held, if slightly wacky, views on the subject.

I believe I had noticed that. Pity he dropped out; I had planned on
asking him what a tenant farmer should have done once I was clear on what
his views on an owner-occupier was.

Now if about six of us took him on .... :-)

Ok - Jim can hold him while the other 5 hit him; or should that be
t'other way round?g

Well, I just have to grease the left ankle torsion actuator bushes on
this Gundam, stuff the blonde wig in the tumble drier, and check the
cockpit fan....
