Hi Charani & Listers !

I stand corrected ! - you may have gathered from my earlier email
that I was born a "Holy Roman Candlestick" (!) - so I am never very
sure about degrees of "Highness" (or should that be 'altitude' ?) ;-)
in the C of E !

They must have retained / borrowed / "nicked" more from Rome
than I realised ! However I stand by my translation !

Best Wishes, Roger.
