*Exactly*, Michael, thank you...

BTW you'll have to excuse Graham, he is one of our resident Yank - haters...and he gets the squitters whenever he thinks of President Trump, lol...

However, despite this political "blind spot", Graham is quite an accomplished baker and a gourmand, so he is an okay bloke in my book...*and* I pray for his soul, that he will see the light of Our Lord Jesus Christ...
