Sorry SCG, good point well made. Having never enjoyed Civ, er "1", I always refer to Civ2. I am glad that the Quality COntrol dept. picked this one up, as it would doubtless have caused controversy if the question had been broadcast.FH |

I realise that "Millionaire" has country variations, but in the UK, you start with ridiculous questions but then they actually get meaningful and difficult after £1000, not more and more absurd!!Good efforts all round. |

I've mention this before, but, due to Civ2 my books "World Hunger:Causes and a Simple Solution" and "An Easy 3 Step Program for Permanent Peace in the Middle East" are NOT being finished.I also have a huge hole in my backyard that someday will be a pool. |
