Twix has it, I think, with 'Grey':

Hi all.

Anthony Eden was the Tory Prime Minister from 1955 to 1957.

The Reform Act was passed in 1832 and abolition of slavery was finally achieved in 1838.

I'm on your side, Twix!

[seekeerz]

oh dear, sorry Sharon, and partially my fault, but twix is correct with Grey ....I hadn't got that far :((

[-SharonA-]

I just guessed with Eden, so you could be correct with Grey. I concede.

[seekeerz]

apologies, twix ....my bad :(( xx

Seekerz, don't worry about it. If I must confess, it was a drunken guess!!

Goodnight all.
