Oh my... Thank you, you have opened my eyes. I didn't even realize that I have few skiffs in my dining room!

Wish a good skiff to everyone.

BWD,

I see from your schematic that there is no relationship to Gin Palaces and fat Ladies, is that correct.

Sort of like a harley eh, no fat ladies allowed.......

theorem dismissed

Besides being an acute and broad minded observer BWD, you are also an exceptional artist ....... but I disagree with "some beers," although I see you have had second thoughts and crosshatched "all beers" - however to reiterate, I would have included the latter.
