[Margaret Pilkington]

I was abysmal at Maths.....algebra, logarithms...they made no sense to me at all...and like you John I have never found anywhere in my life where what they taught me(and I so diligently ignored)would have been any use at all.
I can do the basis stuff....add, subtract, multiply divide.....percentages and fractions....but that is where my expertise(if you can call it that) ends.
