thought either you or john would respond to the thread title barry.
i once heard a comedian say that when he was 16 he plucked up the courage to ask his barber for something for the weekend.
he was offered the loan of his lawn mower.

That's a shame. I only just opened the thread, and might have participated in Saturday's walk.
Too late now, I've made other plans. The title's fault!
