[Growltigga]

Right, that explains a lot - I did wonder because 'Tesco' is Britian's leading supermarket chain (kind of like Wal-Mart but much better class) and I thought you might have some connection, if onl to their fruit and vegetable department.

'Samoa' - I wasn't aware of their guano problem - the only Samoans I have met are rugby players and they are exceptionally big chaps - I wouldn't dream of going up to one and asking them about their seagull crap problem!

I use Growltigga for log-ins - it is actually the name of one of my cats (sad I know) but comes from my old rock band days where my nick name was "GT" - this stood for Gin & Tonic which I used to drink by the bucket - the wifes' polite nickname for me is "Tigger" due to my boundless energy and 'Growltigger' was followed through a bizarre but very English thought pattern

Helen Baxendale - grrrr!!! I have met her you know - she stars in a series over here called Cold Feet which is set in Manchester and in fact used the board room at my office for some of the shots - she is a very attractive girl in the flesh

My real name is Rob, not related to anyone famous (save William Golding 'Lord of the Flies') as far as I know

Born in London, grew up in Canterbury, Kent (southern England), worked in London and then Germany, Greece, Switzerland, South Africa and New York and now work in Manchester where I moved after I got married. Cant stand the city and live out in the Cheshire countryside.

You are right, it is good fun to delve into the past

Take care
