Thanks to flower, 1Mclay & all; good to have a bit of solidarity from the 'right sort'!
mazzy, I know where you're coming from and no doubt an original 19th century penny black or whatever is a fascinating historical artefact, but... I'm sorry! The boringness of most people just astounds me! They would rather be lurking around getting all excited over a new series of ER or a day's shopping in the high street when it is possible for most people (medical permitting) to fly! People just don't want to be different.
So while I have to accept on the evidence that you're right, I will never, never understand it!
But I still maintain that in the case of my 'friend', I'm liking Aussie Andy, Stafford and 18greens hypotheses the most...
