I'm not sure if I am grateful for that pointer or not...

Yes - A great resource.

No - because I was pointed there some time ago after making a Will query, and had totally forgotten its existence in the interim. The onset of senility is a terrible thing... I'll *try* and remember for next time, but no promises. Not that I would likely recall making such a promise anyway... :-)
