And now I will accuse Scarlett of lowering the tone as she has done to me in the past :roll: I'm getting good at the eye rolls.

She has gone off to tutor her English as a second language class which she delivers to us native Brits who can't speak proper or write right.

Published books do you mean ? ( as opposed to the stapled paper books girls like to fashion ) because now I think my DS may have had a book which started sentences with and. I can't remember what it was called though.
