Just checking whether I have fixed the censorship problem - Shitlington. Yep. Fixed. Er well, depending on whether that was the place name! If not, send me a PM to tell me what it should be and I will attempt to do that one as well!!!

That's correct, Kate. Now known as Shillington.

Should some of the refs to 'Mary' in the long recent post be Sarah? (I'm only saying to prove I've read it properly now, as I didn't yesterday, getting carried away with Shitlington!)
