Forgive me for asking, but is there a problem on site, have I missed something or has Keith finally snapped ? I realise we do not all share the same heightened sense of humour or follow identical thought processes, but I confess I'm totally bamboozled by the contents of this thread. But for the final explanation by Terry, I might be forgiven for thinking I was in La-La- land 

If there is a former employee of Bletchley Park in our midst, would they kindly decipher the contents of this thread for those of us not privy to the latest code books

Remember that show 3-2-1 you would never get the answer to the clues and would end up with DUSTY BIN thats what this thread was something like.
