Which is more orthodox, I wonder? :-)Peter Bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581918660786956398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734465554233359322.post-65802371241964219602010-07-16T22:17:53.709+01:002010-07-16T22:17:53.709+01:00you could look at it the other way round; going to...you could look at it the other way round; going to a football match doesn't make you a footballer any more than going to church makes you a christian - a variation on the old garage/car thing on that themeTim Goodbodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725035540031649887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734465554233359322.post-90236688116877002692010-07-16T15:48:14.511+01:002010-07-16T15:48:14.511+01:00Cheers for comment, I concur!
