    CORRECT!!! and the other one??? Afraid no prizes are on offer, just the inner glow of satisfaction at being a complete know-all (or having an other half who is! ;) )

    I've noticed on certain other forums that there are those who love to point out errors in the posts of others as a way of winning points or humiliating them. A dangerous game because, in doing so, they often make quite a few howlers themselves!
    I'm pretty good at spelling (maths is another matter :confused: ) but certain words always catch me out - is it "ocassion" or "occassion" or "occasion" ? - so I've downloaded the Google toolbar which contains a nice spell-checker as part of the doings.

    Hi jjordie

    I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I can't cope with dialect so I hope I can understand people when I go to Wymondham on Sunday! :D :D
