Hi Mary Ann,

You have nailed it correctly!
My 71 yr old brain still remembers, as I look in the letterbox for the mail
each day, that as a child, on my birthday, I looked for a Freddo Frog! Uncle
Mortie, Ghandi and don't forget Auntie Margaret and they made my day.
Tried explaining this to a child recently and got blank stares!

Regards,
Pete Loveday
