Excellent, Peter - thanks a lot! I will use that. Thanks to everyone else for their input. Good material; I'll have 'em rolling in the aisles yet rofl . The parallel to be drawn is that of a the time taken to hand-build a Morgan, with the accompanying photographic record, and the time taken to "build" a four-tier, Art Deco inspired wedding cake, with a photo record of the construction. The Lady of the House is i/c and I am "the boy". Today I continue cutting out of paper-thin icing a total of 400 triangles...


I have always considered wives to be 'Work in Progress', the present Mrs Jones is coming along nicely after 36 years of unstinting effort on my part, there are still mistakes of course but you have to give them the odd word of encouragement, just not too often. hide I am so dead if she ever reads this!
