Blush. Sorry I didn't mean to be so over-sensitive. I
appreciate now that it wasn't your intention, but at
the time I thought you were just giving me a "why the
**** are you linking me to a price comparison website?
If I needed one of those there are loads of them I
could find".

I've read it again and maybe I'm wrong, but you can
read your message both ways. It's not the first time
I've been over-sensitive here and perhaps I shouldn't
be so quick to read things the wrong way but I
couldn't see it the other way until you pointed it
out.

Sincerest apologies. No tongues this year though :)
