Thanks, that made me laugh out loud. I'm going to print it out and leave a copy in the doctor's surgery; a copy in a letter to the DWP. a copy to Kings College London - in fact they'll be receiving a few of those, as will Crawley. She doesn't have to thank me, I know she's busy.
Who else ? Friends, real or otherwise, the tax man; the student loans company; my solicitor, and most of all, one copy to be pinned to my headstone.

Cheerful lot aren't we :)

Merry Christmas
