    HTH.
    What about other monetary sums that would be left at the garden gate?

    50p = runny nose
    £5 = heavy cold
    £50 = flu (allegedly)
    £500,000 = Bird flu

    I can think of a number of instances in which Luton being the epicentre is a good thing.
    A Nuclear strike for example.......flash flooding.....or an outbreak of Bubonic Plague even.

    Just had a call from one of my local clients. I told him I was off ill, and he said "Not with this flu that's going around, one of my mates got it last week, totally wiped him out for about 2-3 days".

    I concur. From when I collapsed on Saturday to when I crawled out of bed yesterday afternoon there was no raising me.

    stay down.
    [1] Flu can lead to a bout of depression afterwards. It doesn't last.
    [2] I intend to. I had a lurgy last year and soldiered on. It lasted 6 months. The Dr said it was "post viral fatigue". On my bad days I could not get out of bed. When a bug wipes you off your feet like this, your advice is sound.
