[dannyk13]

[Mamyalynne]

Did he have a phone in his doublet pocket?

'romeo, romeo, wherefore art thou' she texted.

[Mamyalynne]

I have just noticed that the OP doesn't appear to reply to their own questions, that's a shame.

[dannyk13]

Quite common these days.It is always nice to know that answers have been noted,

[Mamyalynne]

Indeed, no praise/thanks expected or required but without Slaney's help we wouldn't even have had the letter count.

[basquaise]

I can see from some sarcastic comments that I have not obeyed to the rules and I apologise but I would like to thank you all for helping me but I do not know how to reply. Can anyone tell me how to reply to someone?
Once Again a big thank you.

Nothing was meant sarcastically and it was pure observation , you have broken no rules at all.

You are welcome for my part in helping, you have replied successfully.
