        Sorry - I searched for Scottish Mustard, but they all seem to have whiskey in them, a crime of a magnitude I just cannot comprehend!

                                      Surely they had whisky in them. Otherwise they would be Irish! :-D Oh and mustard is the best. The brighter the yellow the better! :thumbsup:

                                        Today is not friday so he should be sober... :rolleyes: In order to answer you: In terms of survival: perfect. In terms of marks: last time I was examined they decided to give me a proficiency degree (that I don't think it is deserved). In gardening terms: horrible... :rolleyes:
