By the way have you ever won the CH ? I used to win frequently but haven't for a while
Thanks bibblebub and dave1948 - I bow to your superior brain power.

Yes dave1948, I won the CH a couple of years ago - a book, which I gave to my wife (the Catholic in the family) but I haven't sent any entries in lately.
