Amazing!! I searched in different dictionaries, including the Oxford Shorter (2Vol.editions)with no results. I decided to "google", and Bingo!!

Thanks a lot Irena.

I too searched my dictionaries for the meaning of the word 'wuthering' (which was the anagram puzzle in the Herald) to no avail.

Thank you google. You never let me down! C.
