Thanks mate!
Glad this has ended amicably..was begining to wonder if I 'd get kneecapped on my first day at the college!
Gulity as charged of throwing my toys out the pram...had a few days to reflect on what was basically a knee-jerk reaction to getting bad news having arrived home after a 13hr flight and a marvellous holiday-you know how it is!
I have now seen the light.........
Hope to work with some of you guys....eventually
