Jandyt: Sorry to drift back off topic, but I would just like to inform Benjnz that the yolk of an egg is, in fact yellow. ..........and thus unwittingly (for you are indeed witless) you have demonstrated a very important point, albeit off topic as usual.

A14BEO: This is ridiculous - there's no point in discussing this again and again as we all well know that Bang & Olufsen WON'T reduce their prices - Lee even discussed the matter with the top bods in Struer during his last visit!
