Quite true, but Scouseboy did start the thread so is probably entitled to take it off in new directions (as is his habit  ;D )

Quite often the threads go off on a tangent, it happens a lot. It's all good fun. I like the change of direction in this one! I like the way Scouseboy thinks!

My tangent now. Quite often I make up amusing names and then look them up on ancestry, there are dozens. Here is a clean one Mary Elizabeth Grate = M.E Grate, she did exist.
