Gavin and Viv have made the above suggestion. May I start you off (when we get to it) my favourite - Pasha - from someone who has never smoked.(anyone come up with an 'A' or 'B') Can,t think of an A - google tells me 'Ace' so it,s B or C. happy days

Dorothy, I,m annoyed with you - I did P. (as a non smoker, the reason I remember Pasha,s is that my local newsagent was prosecuted for putting 2 Pashas in every packet of players. E HAS BEEN MISSED OUT - MUST BE ALMOST THE EASIEST OF THE LOT. Think foreign offices. happy days
