	Did you ever hear of Maxavite? Maybe that was just a NZ thing - we used to get it when I was little it was made by a company here that my grandfather was a commercial traveller (sales rep in today's jargon) for. They did jellies, custard and Peanut Butter as well.

	Tec, I have already posulated a hypothesis that Alison, Barbra, Berona, Carole, Diane, Persephone and Sue are not individuals, but hundreds of women who use the same name. I compare them to a colony of bees (and I will not even hazard a guess as to who is the Queen Bee). It is claimed that it is the colony that has a collective intelligence..... ...is that why the girls are always telling us to beehive? Allan

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 8,314 Send Message	I knew I'd find you here! Just popped in while my dinner is cooking, and sure enough! I should have known that when you said you were going digging - you didn't mean the garden! You were digging a tunnel! We don't need an army of helpers to keep you two in line. We have a very good team doing a 24/7 roster! - so watch it!!

	Ooops that is one swift steam mop, Berona :0)) Allan
