fellonmyhead: Oh yes; especially as it's up in the loft. The last one to go up there was a technician fitting my digital television who had an idea to pass it through the loft; so I showed him the loft and then came the questions. As I proudly explained what it was all about he looked at me with a mixture of fascination, astonishment and fear. I hope it was the games he was looking at and not the six dead nuns I've got up there....
