       I don't know where 'Gordon Bennett' actually came from, but my 
earliest recollection of it was from the series of "Please Sir!"

More worrying that a family surnamed Brown decided to call their son  
James; shame he uses his middle name instead would have loved to imagine  
historians of the future trying to work that one out.

Actually, her normal procedure is "now where did I put that?" and then to 
use the desktop search tool. :-)

In my book, "I'm using a search tool" = "my filing system sucks". ;-)

Well, yeah, I could see that.  Or you just don't have enough different 
data classifications. ;-)

I've got a filing system on my system here that is pretty involved 
because I do so many different things - unfortunately when I actually 
need to use a document I'm sharing with others, I have to remember which 
group I'm sharing it with to know which directory it's in.

My presence is not required "away" so I can make it :) If you drop me
an email at the address in the header I will post my mobile No. to
you. In case either of us are late.
