	I had to smile Dermot at the 'for richer or poorer' in the service. If ever there was a case for leaving out the 'poorer' this was it. Yes, good luck to them. I have a few niggles in my mind, but hopefully they will overcome inevitable difficulties.

	It is supposed to ward off the devil ........... I read somewhere long ago that it originated in the crossing of the two forefingers in front of your body or face, thus forming a cross. Cross the fingers as we now do is less obvious! The meaning now seems to be "let it not happen", whatever "that" might be!
