It's all lies, y'r honour. I swear it was some other person, and an
entirely different cow. Anyway, I wasn't even there at the time.

And I do drop-caps in CSS with
p.fancy:first-letter {font-size: 190%;
float: left;
vertical-align: text-top;
}

- and I still don't know why the "float left" is there, but I'm scared
to take it out just incase it IS important for something or other.

That freak storm in Renmark you may have heard about missed us by
inches.
Spare a thought for those poor buggers who have lost the lot. We're ok -
all we lost was the remaining fruit on our trees - but a lot of people
around here lost their houses and their livlihoods.
