Thanks Les, I wasn't expecting a response so fast! Now I get what its about,

As for this next couple of day, well I live almost in the middle of Hull!
Not very flat with all the houses, but I shall be keeping my eyes well
peeled for the next 36 hours to see what heppens. If it happens, I'll log
it!
