shower ??? The question is, does everything need to be in a category ? The only reason for categories is to allow subcategories like 'type' - so that you know it's a type of highway or a type of building. communications=cable type=voice type=digital type=optical type=broadband type=mechanical etc. -- Mike. @millomweb <https://sites.google.com/site/millomweb/index/introduction> - For all your info on Millom and South Copeland via *the area's premier website - * *currently unavailable due to ongoing harassment of me, my family, property & pets* T&Cs <https://sites.google.com/site/pmailkeey/e-mail>
