It is bound to be distressing, Elle.
It is about shooting people!
I am reading another book on Teddy Kennedy.
A horrible man!
I have just discovered that a "tityre-tu" is/was an aristocratic hooligan! Chamber's.
Did you see GreedyKite's thread regarding a new Chamber's? You could advise him?

Yes ,I know, but I meant the sheer callousness......or is it ignorance....but I'm only starting it really......
Our posts crossed! I've already answered GK advising him NOT to buy the 13th and telling him what happened about the 500 omissions.
And to emphasise the point... you've just mentioned a word 'tityre-tu" - well, guess what, I've just looked that up in MY Chambers and (yes, you've guessed it) it isn't there!!!!!
It IS in the paper printout though of the 500 missing words (along of course with taghairm!)

So, these 500 words, do they all begin with "T"?

Goodness, no, they go right through the alphabet from A to Z!

It is a pity you did not know the right organisation to get in touch with, to kick up Holy hell (excuse me) with them.
Chamber's, or Harrap's, conduct in this matter is unacceptable!

I wrote to two different addresses for Chambers/ Hodder - one of which you gave me and one I found somewhere or other.
I sent a letter by recorded delivery to which I received no reply.
I'd also emailed originally , if you remember?
I think I've finally given up as it seems impossible to get any satisfaction from anywhere. I've got the addendum, albeit only a paper printout!
Not worth the "blood, sweat and tears" any more?

Do NOT give up, Elle.
I have an idea. May help GK, too.
But, I shall be honest, most of my great ideas turn out to be mediocre, but...once in a blue moon there is a diamond amongst the dross!

I'm sure your ideas are very good ones, Rusty!
So are you going to tell me what it is....?

I have just posted it on Greedy Kite's thread, Elle, as I was not sure if he would visit the Chatty thread.
He seems very sensible.
Let me know what you think?

Yes, it sounds a very good idea, Rusty.
I didn't know that one could do that. I've just signed up for their emails as you suggested! (But I'm paranoid about Chambers now...they'll probably still ignore me!)
I'm shattered - think it's a backlash from the traumatic w/e! ( Heaven preserve me from under -fives car drivers!)
Going to bed...talk tomorrow. 'Night!
