Sorry for the poor use of English - indeed the 2nd "here" was supposed to be the U.S.
On the subject of reversed day/month its interesting that even over there (the U.K.) the 10th anniversary of 9-11 (not 11-9) is coming up! It makes me think back to what I was doing 10 years ago during those events - We were in the last months of the Princess Margaret Hospital before the move to the new P.F.I. place!!
In case they log in to this:- HI to my ex colleagues Terry Potter and Brian Smith - I hope you both are having happy retirement.
