Hi Nick

Glad you are enjoying sunny Devon!

Could you elaborate for those of us not living in the south-west, what
a "grockle" is exactly? I notice that you and Will both use the term
(with a touch of amusement in your e-mail voice:-), and just wondered
where the word comes from.

I presume that you were a grockle when you lived in Worcester:-)

Just wondered

BTW it is sunny up here in Hatton too!

cheers
Steve, presumably a Grockle when staying in Graham's Cornish cottage!
