    OK then, for us mere mortals, please may we have an Anna law compliant answer (and maybe some of the workings). I'm flabbergasted and flummoxed

    Can I pass on that, and leave it to Ferney. I'm afraid I am not around for the remainder of the evening and must bid farewell. Thanks for the fun day.

    Well, rubbers cut straight to the chase with Walton.
    William Walton wrote a cantata In Honour of the City of London;

    mercs noted that Jerry Goldsmith wrote the Theme to the TV series The Waltons; (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AXWdQNzSb4)

    ... and rubbers again got to Kathleen Ferrier (via Blow the Wind Southerly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjvHg9cBriw ) who was born (100 years ago this coming Sunday) in the village of Higher Walton, nr Blackburn, Lancs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_...mous_residents) - 'tho' her ancestors originated in Pembrokeshire; hence the Musical talent!

    I hope mercs won't mind the next Rubber being rubber's?

    Good night, rubbers. Good night, John boy. Good night, Lou. Good night, sweet ladies. Good night, good night.

    (From The Waltons to The Waste Land: that's postmodernism for you! )

    Mercs; would you mind taking the next, whilst we let rubbers enjoy his evening's gallavantings?
