Thanks all

Proper job Buddy - well done! I confess I`ve always thought (stage) `prop` was a word in its own right and did not know it is a shortened version of `property`. Good word choice Dorrien - the props used in `The Mousetrap` must have been replaced many times over! - enjoyed seeing the `Animals` play their classic from 1964 - they were a top band.

Nice one Buddy!
Cheers Dorrien and thanks for the shortlisting.

Thanks dorrien for the nod and the prizes. My youngest was "property master" for many a high school play back in the day (until she started getting parts to play). I've always liked the clip of the Animals and wish they had found a way to get the drummer and keyboardist to march around as well.

PR up soon.
