well, would you believe that yesterday I was told that although it is grammatically correct to type "Dear Mrs Widgit"...."Yours sincerely"....the company doesn't like it!! So I am now being forced to write grammatically incorrect letters; theres a few other things they have odd ideas about too, like not underlining the title, just underlining the SUB-TITLE!

Grrrrrrrr:mad: Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!

And now, changing the subject, here you are Simone..........

Yay! Thankyou! :D

Well, I guess if what Badge says is true(and he's more likely to know than me), then if you don't really know Mrs Widgit is would be right to put Yours Faithfully....
But I guess also sincerely would be alright to.

Ah, either way, the company is mad! Geez, no internet ;)

when I got this new 'puter I insanely thought it would prompt me to write the correct ending, but instead it puts 'yours truly' whether I type dear sir or dear mrs soanso!!!!
so much for grammatical error check!!!

BTW Badge, putting a case of beer in your rucksack...as you were running didnt it kinda knock seven bells out of the back of your head!!!???
Having visions of some bloke sprinting down the road with a case of 24 beers jiggling around and bashing him on the head!!!!!!

Opph, I'll try that one tomorrow. Probably cause the boss to self-destruct if I end a letter "yours truly"........I'll let you know!!
:D

Lovely evening it was.
