    EDIT: Oh, that didn't work! I typed the letters of "day" to be much further spaced than they appear here.

    Still can't work out what that could have to do with M. Jarre, though

                            that's as may be, but could we have a clue to the question please ?
                            ["boom-boom", as Basil Brush might say]

                            are they all called Elizabeth ?

                              I can't play any more just now. We're off to Jersey for the weekend (the Flay family has a terrible carbon footprint just now!) and Mrs Flay is champing... animals to the kennels, finish packing etc etc...

                              Must remember to pack the umbrella and kaggy
