I shouldn't worry, pastille: in that get-up you would if the worst came to the worst only be attacked here by a wild boar --- or 6 or 7: they tend to run around in large groups. Elderly ladies have been known to be cornered in their own kitchens by the beasts, and actually that's not funny at all..................

Do you have a cigarette holder, pastille, or do you expect your accompanist (me) to provide one?

I believe she handles her own booking, trevor; she's quite resourceful.

I am now a non smoker....but Trevor I will seriously need somebody to get me on AND off the aforementioned Grand Piano. The job is yours if you wish...

Mr A, I will use one of those electronic things if it adds to the atmosphere.....
