	OH? I DID wonder when Oxo's X cubes came out. how they could apparently scoop out the sides,(less volume), could be the same cube size yet still hold the weight.... if you get my drift..

	In Oz (at least in Western Oz) we have road signs on many country roads which read "5 kms to the such and such turn-off" where you substitute the words such and such with the name of the appropriate town. I always envisage a raddled old hag sitting there trying to look alluring ;-) :-D :-D

	Vera :-D :-D :-D :-D Apparently, Cats Eyes are to be renamed 'road studs' after confused foreign tourists, who thought they were made from parts of REAL animals. Some were very upset when they saw the sign..........
