Why I couldn't possibly comment. During my time here on Planet Earth this is a phenomena that I have never previously encountered.

Whilst emotions are normally kept in check and largely undiscovered I can categorically say that i have never unwittingly exuded any niceness toward a "mackem".

You have to be nice to those less fortunate then ourselves, it is the circle of life.

Softie I hope that slanderous comment was aimed at Gav's parentage and not mine. No need to pick on me just because my Dad is a mackem by birth but alas a Toony by choice :o)
