Percysmum Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Thanks for that. I'm probably one of the worse culprits for using shortcuts.:blush: We have some different names for our native 'toos in Australia so when on international forums I just translate in my mind to the shortcut international version rather then the long hand version.
