      sorry you are missing a bit of an in joke, SAP versus Oracle.

      Normally SAP has 20 varieties of the kitchen sink, with Oracle you are lucky if there is a water main.

      When a user on Oracle says 'I wish it could do X' a SAP expert says 'SAP can do that and A-Z and 0-9' annoyingly they are normally right.

      Therefore if Oracle can do it then it must be common.

      As I said its likely that SME do similar but don't call it Dunning.

      I would stop digging if I were you.

          I don't think that Orwell was running Oracle or SAP in 1933, but I might be wrong.

            Another fantastic CUK coincidence! Just turned on PC to search for name of place I got some curtains from and had a quick look at CUK first. My curtain place is Dunnings Mill. Who needs Google when we have CUK?

            PS Oh no it's Dunhelms Mill but close.

              For clarity - peculiar in the sense of "belonging exclusively to". Hence I'm referring to your (collective) ignorance over this specific word, not a general culture of ignorance, though that does seem to have become quite prevalent in the UK over the last few years.

                No clarification required, we had assumed you meant our collective ignorance as opposed to our "odd" ignorance.

                  +1. Better off getting MF tanked up on cheap cider and sending him round.
