You expect that one to get by without a comment? Cleethorpes, BTW, is on the east coast of England, and is nowadays just about a suburb of the equally delightfully named Grimsby, a town known (apart from its name) for its fishing port. Cleethorpes is also home to Grimsby Town soccer team, a side traditionally near the bottom of the second flight of the English league, whose fans traditionally wave inflatable fish called "Harry the haddock". And you thought cheeseheads were strange... Residents of the town take pride if they are from "Old Clee", the original part of the town. A friend of mine (yet another Tim Jones) is from Cleethorpes. BTW, a big, very friendly welcome back to Eb - the list hasn't been the same without you, I hope we all start to feel like family again soon, and that you are back to your irascible yet insightful best!
