> You dream about elephants Roy? That's somewhat odd, don't you think?
I don't dream of elephants, but oddly enough, last night I dreamt that I lost
control of the wheel whilst driving. It wasn't a pleasant dream, so when the
alarm woke me up I snoozed for another hour.

I realised there was a typo. Should have been "Elephants" (plural). When I
type quickly, if I ever proofread, I then notice the tendency to drop the
'S' in pluralised words or inflections. I don't know why this happens, but I
suspect you have seen this before.

I'm glad that my otherwise silent-to-be posts get some encouragement. *smile*

> Does it have subtitles for the hard of hearing?
I haven't watched it, but I suspect not. The BBC, however, is subtitling most
programs through Teletext, so fetching the subtitles may be possible,
potentially through their Web site. I have a deaf friend, so I happen to
know this.
Best wishes,
Roy
