Thanks for the correction MG ~ I really must go back to one fingered typing .... it works better than the three fingered sort. Mrs Snoopy tells me that I don't apply enough pressure with the left hand. She bases this assertion on the fact that most of my errors, missed letters etc are on that side of the keyboard AND for no other reason before anyone jumps in with sexual innuendo.
I think my worst moment was when I had to address the National Conference of the Union of Communication Workers. It was Tom Jackson's last year and I was seconding a motion. I had prepared a witty (or so it seemed to me) little speech and got to the podium OK. Then, as I started, my eye was drawn to the end of the prepared speech which said "and I should like conference to know that although I second this motion I am a member of the Conservative Party" ~ suddenly it didn't seem like such a good idea. Certainly not as good an idea as when I had written it in the bar the night before...... but when all is lost one ploughs on ~ I actually got a cheer.
Shortly after that I switched careers ..... no connection really.
