Suffice to say I struggled with it for several days to no avail. I did think of cutting it up but that sacrilege was fortunately taboo for me. I just acquired a second copy and this time I think I will photocopy it (a device not available when i first read it) and take it on holiday with me.....Scott Herbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665946569573596941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-39338893958098905072012-05-20T22:58:16.704+01:002012-05-20T22:58:16.704+01:00Thanks, Roger.
