There are probably straitjackets still stored in the lower dungeon levels of this thread, but I hope we don't need any ! 

Tea and biscuits do help a lot, and hot chocolate at night, (the kitchen here always had a perpetual supply for passing visitors.)

I notice there's an 'accept solution' button lurking at the bottomof each post - if I press that, do the powers that be, at Ebay Towers assume that we've solved all our problems and the thread vanishes in a puff of smoke?  I'm almost tempted to try!
