Sorry lads, I missed Steve's post. :o I now have a sneaking suspicion the Steve and Darren are correct, and my scant musical knowledge has been exposed for the second time in as many days, :o :o :o A little delving has proved that the dynamic duo are indeed correct, and I shall have to retire to my study, with a bottle of whisky and a revolver. :( :(
