Ann, I'm nowhere near clever enough to have meant such a thing! But thank you for the correction.

[Brian Allgar]

I agree with you about sans-serif fonts, Ann. Even a word like 'curt' can fool the unfocused eye for a moment. I always use Times Roman when I'm writing letters, sending competition entries, etc., and I had forgotten that there is an option on this site to change the font when posting. I shall try to remember to do so in future.

I was once told that you can't tell lies in Garamond. Since then I have used no other.

Like this, you mean? Yes, it's a very elegant font. But, Ann, you didn't use it in your post above! Does that mean that you were lying?

[John Whitworth]

Rob, I haven't said how much I like your Norfolk poem. I do.

[Ann Drysdale]

Yes, Brian. I lied. Accidentally. I clicked on the font change thing before starting, assuming that it was the same as a document, but when I went to preview it, I forgot that the buttons are on the opposite sides to other sites and I posted it instead, whereupon it said soddya and came out in the usual Arialese. I said bugger and thought perhaps I should highlight it all and do the font thing retrospectively, but when I went into edit mode the option was denied me. However, here I go again...

A county where they wipe their arses on the Bard can't be all bad. Cornwall, on the other hand...

If Scotland is a county it is indeed the dregs. One thinks fondly of Flodden field.

[Peter Goulding]

Would I be right in assuming Irish counties are acceptable? We have some beauties here.

[John Whitworth]

It doesn't say not so fire away Peter. Do we suppose the bloody Orkneys are a county?
