Thankyou Skuzzy. I've learnt my lesson. Any other admissions of that nature will be done through the national press to avoid over-exposure and sensationalism.
And I liked the analogies - very funny.

And thanks to you Flossy.

That sounds like something Dowding would say. Does that make it a "Dowdingism"?
I resent that. Utterly. I would never say 'Toodle pip' or 'Tootle pip'. I may be English, but I'm from the North. If I said that, my parents would disown me and I'd suddenly become very friendless. England isn't a Mary Poppins musical. Finally, clearly you've never heard me on AH Voice. My accent just does not go with that phrase.
You must have me confused with Beetle.
Clear?
