  Hello and welcome Colin, and a very good morning to you.
  
  Is a 'psv' something like a working class vip? Or a Proverbially Satisfied Visitor?
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  Well I live in one of the Lydden colliery miners' houses, my uncle was a miner in Markham colliery and my grandad once got into fisticuffs with Jack Dunn, how about that for tenuous!
  
  Welcome Colin, you'll enjoy it here once you get used to the sense of humour
