Which makes it tricky for me as it is the time of year I write the adverts for seasonal staff, and that particular role is one I would dearly love to slip in there. Assuming of course that there is a vacancy and your "dragged off into the undergrowth by wolves/panthers/psychotic tramps/hikers with no mince pies" scenario is a correct one.<BR/><BR/>Boz, it is educational for them. Snails should be free to roam!
