Swedish Handle? Is that the one you need to start volvos? Brian

I mentioned Johan Roman because although he is one of the most
accomplished baroque composers, he does not seem to be well-known in the
UK.

You shot down my attempt at discussion with a jejune troll. Well,
done! Is it any wonder that UKRA has so few subscribers these days?

Serious sense-of-humour failure on your part, alas.

Does the misspelling of a composers name now pass as humour inn the UK ?
If so, it is clear that the pound sterling and the health service are not
the only things there in serious decline :-)

What if you can't see the words and have to listen to them via a screen
reader?

I take you point. But given the context, I think the meaning was perfectly
clear.

And, if Jim says it was a joke, it was a joke!

Shame that you continued for another posting before you realised that.

Brian may be able to comment on the NHS. He is blind. Think about it before
digging deeper about his deliberate pun.

Perhaps also comments would be of interest from people who are
having to pull out their own teeth (BBC Word News/The Guardian)
because dental patient registers are oversubscribed, and they
cannot get the treatment to which they are entitled under the NHS.

And what about comments from the 100 000 people who (according
to a report from the Ambulance Association)last year spent
more than one hour in the back of an ambulance before they
could be admitted into A+E (Sky News/Dail Telegraph 3.12.2017) ??
