"Oh I do prattle on sometimes."

Not at all, Simon.

I'm quite taken with what you wrote. Your words struck a cord. I'm not religious but paradoxically I do have a spiritual side to my nature.

You write: "I was once sold hook line and sinker on Hancocks Fingerprints of the Gods."

For me it was von Daniken and "Chariots of the Gods" - quickly followed by about twenty other books of the same ilk.
Now I don't even give them house room

Live and learn, live and learn...

Kind regards,

Alex
