I just didn't know what you meant by Veuvius - it is an entirely different word but thanks for clearing that up.

Apologies Mr Head - it took me a few minutes too ... googling "outside chairs" just got me loads of garden furniture - "chair memorial" got it straight away ... duh ...

While searching though I happened across this young lady :

She doesn't look like a "Rita" - can we sue for using our name ?
