I was going to reply and was preparing a post when I read a really comprehensive post on page 1 that reflected my views exactly- by someone called Pjen. Must PM them with congratulations on their excellent analysis.

On a sadder note I was pleased to see that my old sparring partner LondonCalling was posting again- until I realised it was a zombie thread. Shame; miss him!
