Thank you Sheila. 88 - two fat ladies: sums up my womenfolk. No, I am not being cruel. They would agree.

Haha. Not lost your wit Dave. X

Thanks Sheila. 26%, I bet that's a better quit rate than NHS alcohol-services.

Minimal research suggests a success rate of 12.3% of first year abstainers, that is huge. Well done everyone (::) (::) (::) (::)

Loosebanana, just saw your youtube video (the first one). Thanks for that, it was great. I was having trouble viewing it at first due to being in a different country but I was able to get around it. Nice job.
