Thank You Adam for doing this.

Yes indeed, it was Tudor School Boy Life

As I said I gave up, and indeed I haven't visited WS since, which is why I
neither took it to the help forum, and haven't as yet replied to your
question.

Perhaps this is an unfortunate attitude on my part, but perhaps I am not
the only person to respond in this way when feeling frustrated.

Anyway, I'll have another crack at it.

all the best
