Yes, and I have some windmills here if you'd care to tilt at them :-) I too gave up Marathons as a protest, but I like them too much so gave in eventually. I have started buying branded clothes (Caterpillar, Timberland, Levi), in an attempt to reduce the large amount of crap I've worn in the past to a small collection of good stuff that will last - I think it's working. Globalisation is here to stay, get used to it. /Robert
