oh so sorry everyone. The name is sorfleet. I went to surname information and it said it was sorfleet board/page. I didnt realise the thread came up elsewhere.

Don't worry blackrose - it happens and we old-timers can have a bit of a laugh in the process. No harm intended!

It's OK Blackrose; you made me smile, anyway.

Sorfleet is an unusual name. I have not come across it before. I've had sore feet at times, though :-)
