Just want to say thanks to Alan and Janice, Terry, Beverley, and Lesley for
the information you all provided me yesterday regarding the above. My whole
family are now scratching their heads about the movie but they think I'm a
mini-hero for getting so much information already that they haven't been
able to track down! Thankyou very very much :)
I shall most likely reply to you all personally soon
Kind regards and best wishes
Bec
