  Reply | Contact Thanks Richard and sue1002 - lillyrose have you tried with firefox?  I thought you'd like to meet Caesar in case I have to send him over for your mice   On the other hand, as you've pinched my rain AGAIN Miranda - I got in OK - I think your gremlin is still coming and going  .  I must look at my hoverflies and see whether or not they're wearing sunglasses   asj - War on slugs and snails!
