I should have listened to my mother and eaten more carrots !

I must admit i am enjoying my Scottish Jewish findings. Its made me perk up again after a long stale mate concerning my Donaldson's and not knowing where to look next.

Thank you Andrew, Jack, Jean and Lesley i shall mull over this tomorrow.
