Cheers for the info Monster. A different country of course, though I'm not supposed to acknowledge that.

Cic - I would SO want that SNEEZE plate! Might make people more wary of me. I have Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst Syndrome. Yeah, ADCHOO. It's a genetic condition better known as photic sneeze reflex (or photo sensitivity) which affects 10% of the population - although the figure varies - meaning that you sneeze when faced by bright light - usually the sun.

It affects me daily, but it is most notable on holiday - for example my honeymoon in Venice, where the Spring sunlight (low in the sky) and the shadowed alleys/ sunlit squares made it quite apprarent.
