I believe that they are now quite rare in Britain.<br /><br />Once more, thank you for taking all the time and trouble to explain how to 'link'. I have succeeded in linking back to my own post but in trying to put a link to you, I have failed in spite of many attempts. I have, of course, given you a mention and hope to do better after my break when I shall speak with my computer person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
