Suzanne :-D :-D Just listening to George Formby - Madam Moskovitch, the Moscow witch, the Russian gypsy queen.

If you give a bob, then she - will unfold a mystery.
If you give her half a crown, then she'll let the curtains down
And you'll see much more
Than you did before
Of the Russian gypsy queen;-)

Paula and yourself never had my education in the arts regrettably :-D
