Thanks for your reply. You would have been justified in telling me to take a hike, and I had guilt pangs after I posted. Your reply was excellent, and I thank you.
"The wait is enough to drive one insane or in my case to make me an alcoholic ( Merlot etc.)."
When ECU hits $20 (or even $5 - I don't think I have the strength to wait until $20), I will help you with some Merlot, if you are not too far from London.
Cheers.
