Ashley - OK that seems to make more sense. I'm wondering what types of
responses they will accept for this. I did mention return to the beginning
but not in the same instance as you.
Paula - Thanks for that Paula. I was thinking along these lines already as
I was aware that efficiency is not always the "fastest" way to do/complete
something. But thanks for clearing that up :)
Cheers
