Where society is becoming more insular it gives a false impression of people and society but you are one of the silent majority of real and genuine people still out there. Thanks again.

Just two points .1, the beautiful girls in the family are my wife & my 20year old daughter .
In reply to one of the comments ; my step father turned to beating my mum on a regular basis; this only stopped when I was brave enough to intervene. My step dad never came near us again.
