Yes @Cleoriff - that`s true.
One question - and I`m not saying which - I came across by chance in a quiz book over the weekend and couldn`t resist including it [and, "no" I didn`t get it right when I tried

Great!! Never mind @Mi-Amigo , I will look at them more closely when I get back. Off out now for a couple of hours.
