No worries, Tinak, those of us who've been here a bit know you're dyslexic - I'm guessing the spelling of that as I figure you won't know the difference

Your comment on your writting reminds me of the 'true' WW1 story of the guy who applies for officer training - at the interview he's asked if he can read and write, as many at that time couldn't.
He replied "I can write but I can't read", "What do you menan?" asked the interviewing officer, "Show me". The officer dictates something for the soldier to write down and the chap scribbles something and hands it over "What's this supposed to say" the officer exclaims, looking at the scribble - "I don't know" the soldier answered, "I told you - I can wrire but I can't read!"
