**qts** Although the description is appreciated as I was wondering how to recognise dopers when at the square I really don’t think you should be including your mobile number in your post. ---

Sorry we couldn’t make it. I only got back from the zoo five minutes ago. **Steve Wright** - I can recommend the programme. There is now a Polaroid of me with a red-kneed bird-eating spider nestled in my palm. I still bricked it, but it’s a thousand times more than I ever thought I could manage. Hope you’re all having a fantastic time! If anyone’s around tomorrow afternoon (Sunday) I may be able to meet up. ---
