Sorry to start a new thread, but I can't find the old one. I'm
surprised so many people seem to think major blocking episodes
in October are unusual. I suppose it depends what you mean
by unusual: if simply "not usual" I suppose I might be persuaded
to agree, but if you mean "rare" then I demur.

.... welcome back Philip: when I heard you on Radio 5 this morning I
thought .. "at last, the voice of sanity" - *some* of the posts over the
last week have been unbelievable.
