cheers for the response , seem that attributes is missing from hash on my
system
all i did was the blueprint with a standard hash
client = { :title => "Mr }
client.attributes
NoMethodError: undefined method `attributes' for {:title=>"Mr"}:Hash
is attributes added on by rails ?
if so my setup must be wrong
