Ok ok ok!! Thank you both for the pointers, they did of course yield the problem - as
bloody always
it's something completely different! As my old-dad always says: "Everything is about
something
else" (although this was always meant in a psychiatrist-patient relationship..)
Thank you again both, and I apologise for seemingly wasting your time, but I do value
people's
ideas and opinions, and hopefully others do of mine also.
