Thanks Stephen,

TBH I wasn't sure what "to buttonhole" meant when I first saw it. The trusty 
Internet delivered the definition of "to detain (a person) in conversation 
against their will" which left me feeling a little offended, but also 
between a rock and a hard place. I wouldn't want such an accusation to go 
unchallenged, but pursuing the matter will almost certainly  make me guilty 
of engaging someone in a conversation they probably don't want to have. 
Don't you just hate those tricky situations :o)

Regards,
Chris B.
