Hollins, sorry to have missed you. It is only this week that Ive tried out this "gone for lunch" idea. As far as I know you are the one and only person to have suffered!!! Not much consolation, I know But, on Monday, I never saw a sole all day, and, I can tell you, that was a mighty long day with a flask of stewed tea to keep me company. After Friday that will be the end of the lunch hour because, according to last years takings, at least I take a fiver or so every day. Sorry again Mike
