Arty I think you have started something, I thought you hit every nail on the head, my mum died when I was 2 but my grandmother who looked after me told me that " the truth can be blamed but never shamed" & #2 "Now that you have finished your fairy story, tell me the truth". She was a woman of great wisdom, she had 16 kids of her own, she needed it. Mick B.
