It must have been a frustrating experience.

This is a good account and might be useful to other would be inventors.smiley - smiley

The question is, is the AWW the right place for it? smiley - erm Strictly speaking, the EG is for objective factual pieces. Have you been told this is too much of a personal account to go there?

We do everything else, from personal accounts to poetry but we tend to look for literary style, so we couldn't promise that it would go on the Underguide.

Yes, it was in PR and judged too personal, so i put it somewhere safe, nottfer review, while I thought about it, then promptly forgot all about it until now, doing some spring cleaning.

The Post, eh? never thought about that.

Give me a nudge in another year, eh?
