Thanks GB. It looks fab with it's tasteful smattering of italic text.

I wouldn't bother about Pierre B as he isn't famous (or if he is famous to you, you probably already know about Marrakech).

You are most welcome. I genuinely love subbing as I am bound to learn something.

I knew nought of Marrakech other than what I've seen in films, and at temperatures of 48°C I'm unlikely to visit, I found 40°C in Greece overpoweringsmiley - headhurts so what I know of the place now is thanks to yousmiley - ok

I'll return the entry to the Eds now for its date with FP glory (it won't be long as the Coming Up page hasn't got many pendings).

See you on the Front Page!smiley - biggrin

You might love the city - and it is 20C there now.

Easyjet and BA fly there. It is huge fun, especially if you like donkeys.
