I've no idea if you're being serious or not Bratty, but  anyway. And here's another one for good measure _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

You must have known what Faulty Towers was before you bought it, otherwise you probably wouldn't have bought it?  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Just for the record, it's Fa wlty Towers, and is the most sublime farce ever made for British television. Bratty, perhaps it might help you better understand the eccentric foreign English. Don't forget to watch the episode called The Germans. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

+1 to all that, including me adopting Bratty's spelling mistake for no apparent reason  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Instead of refunding the £3.75 charges that PayPal seemingly fraudulently took from my card, my bank have now refused to help.
I got a Visa Debit card because, according to my bank's website, it gives me a "Higher level of purchase protection". When I agree to pay £5.00 for a product and I actually get charged £6.25 by PayPal, surely I should be protected. What the hell is the use of the protection otherwise?
Even though it's PayPal's error, I do believe the bank should refund me. I have actually spoken to Sir Fred Goodwin's secretary and have been assured he will sort it out to my satisfaction. I'll believe that when I see it!
Peter.

Masonic Symbols Are Everywhere
It's true that Masonic symbols are anything but lost, said Freemason and historian Jay Kinney, author of the newly released Masonic Myth.
Freemasonry is rich in symbols, and many are ubiquitious—think of the pentagram, or five-pointed star, or the "all-seeing eye" in the Great Seal of the United States.
But most Masonic symbols aren't unique to Freemasonry, Kinney said.
"I view the Masonic use of symbols as a grab bag taken from here, there, and everywhere," he said. "Masonry employs them in its own fashion."
The pentagram, for example, is much older than Freemasonry and acquired its occult overtones only in the 19th and 20th centuries, hundreds of years after the Masons had adopted the symbol.
Likewise, the all-seeing eye saw its way to the Great Seal—and the U.S. dollar bill—by way of artist Pierre Du Simitiere, a non-Mason.
The eye represents divine guidance of the U.S. ship of state, or as Secretary of the U.S. Congress Charles Thompson put it in 1782, it alludes "to the many signal interpositions of providence in favour of the American cause."
There was one known Mason on the committee to design the seal, Benjamin Franklin. His proposed design was eyeless, and rejected. | | | | |

No wonder she thought I was thick. I've just looked on Wikipedia and he's no longer the chairman Peter. _________________A Mac user

I appreciate the sheer scale of demand on YouTube, but that doesn't help when you've had that 'must look that up' moment and you fcuking can't  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Is it really worth it for £3.75? Or am I missing something here?
