Somehow, I just don't think she would really care. She's survived a crazy journey, she's back in the UK and she appears to be happy. I got that from her posts, you didn't get the same?

If you read her signature line, you will understand her difficulty with the written language. And hey, anyone can make a typo, eh?

Thank you for pointing that out to me (both of my foolish errors). I feel a bit of a plonker now and unreservedly eat crow.
My apologies to the original poster are sincere, though I understand if they are not accepted.

Studying the profiles of contributors never really occurred to me - but it will from now on.

Sorry again, for my insensitivity.
