Have just returned from hospital with son with grommets in his ears (still can't hear me - probably because he is used to ignoring his mother??). No worries over the anesthetic! Why do mums get all worked up?? lol Anyway, what's that stripe to the right for? >>>>

Can see no stripe??! Hope your son is feeling ok and can hear now. My daughter going for 3rd grommet op in two weeks time, can't wait will be able to stop shouting! Karen

Hi Karen, He seems to be able to hear everyone else, but not me!! Hope your daughter's op goes OK too - all the other children in with us today were going in for a repeat procedure! Now this stripe - down the right-hand edge of the message boards is a grey and brown stripe about 1/4 inch wide. It apears to have the letter ''N'' or ''M'' in red, repeated five times down it's length. Hubby has just gone into his version of GR and he has no stripe!! Maybe it's a girl-thing?? It doesn't do anything, so am going to ignore it, unless anyone has any ideas! Merry
