Strowie, I have been following this thread with great interest, but not posted till now. I am a big dog lover, but know longer own one. I read JM's remarks and felt it was a true and honest comment, I also read Soundings reply, and it to was very true and fair comment. Put another way, you were both right but for different reasons. IMO. We are still awaiting news, and until that is available, perhaps we should sit back, and leave it to those out there I am sure, doing their best, in very trying circumstances. If you wish your remarks fully removed I will do so. Iain.
