The site clock appears to be slow (or we all jumped the gun!)

I'd say it's the site clock chrise - my watch is atomic (I'm going to lend it to the government) :)

Brilliant!
RE and Jazzy 4/5
Chrise, GK, Ari and djaw, all spot-on.
No need for me to post my working as it's been VERY well covered by you experts.
Thanks to all for participating.

And a special thank you for the kind Crossie comments and the eye-health discussion and wishes. I'll kick it into touch for the next 6 months.
Bless
J

Thanks yet again, jolan. Best wishes for continued improvement in your eyesight.
