I RECEIVED a communique from US reader Deborah Schlemer which cheered me up no end.

She wrote: "I'm a Brit who has lived in the States for the past 20 years, and appreciate your great British sense of humour!

"I also bought an "Idiots guide to Windows" and I too am still no wiser! Glad to know I'm not the only one! Keep up the good work."

A pair of thickos eh!
