Are you sure about that? I use two layers of Tesco's Finest -- a bit
more expensive, but I thought it was well worth it. You've got me
seriously worried now. But I do wear rubber-soled shoes, so maybe the
transmissions won't get a good circuit.

Some of you will unforget that in the early days of Zetnet and for a few
years I managed the e-mail etc for Nicholas Besley
, and posted in these august columns from there,
but signing them as myself, which confused a lot of people no end.

Well, yesterday, I put together four windows Nick gave me when his house
was enlarged, and with them I made a sort-of large bell-cloche/small
greenhouse arrangement for the chillis I've got coming on. So, much to
my surprise, having just finished the greencloche I received a phone
call from Nick. I haven't heard from him for a year or so.

Talk about allyhats?
