    Just a small example of how punctuation can change the meaning of a sentence - with apologies to JHG.

    "No Mankini's are barred had to tell one of the Sycro dancers off for that!" That's how it was typed.

    No punctuation has been made, so it looks like it says that no mankinis have been barred - so they are allowed.

    If it had been "No, mankinis are barred etc etc.", then you would know for sure, that mankinis are not allowed.

    I nearly made a comment when I first read it, but let it ride, I kind of knew what John meant.

    Not picking you out at all John and apologies for using your posting as an example.
