Forgive me for hijacking this thread but I really felt I should return it to the top. . .Am I to understand that the thread which sparked this one off, the account of Flatus Veteranus about his journey many years ago, and the equally fascinating posts which followed, are now wiped out? . .I really think that thread, and indeed this one, should have been archived and made available as a valuable and irreplaceable historical record.
