Wow, Toorak, I'm very impressed!!!

Tks so much for the explanation

Neat is an old word for a cow.

Tks sandyRoe, I've learned something new today! I guessed Neat was the answer but couldn't work out why, even after googling it! I hate not knowing the reason for the obvious answer, that it is why I love this forum!
