Thanks Pauline!
Interesting Dave - he is a Kate!

Bigdave44 are you totally sexist, I think you'll find Kate Mepham is female!

Columbus- BigDave44 is not sexist- he is a lovely guy, so stay away from assumptions in the future please!! Maybe BigDave does not purchase a Telegraph. Many posters answer questions here yet are unfamiliar with the actual quiz or crossword themselves. Agree with BigDave- Kate tends to word her questions almost word for word with Wikipedia or with the Concise Oxford English Dictionary have noticed. Both males as well as femals are equally wonderful- am an equalist!! Warm wishes, Bea :-)
