agree  mike23: Yes, that's right. Btw I know a few lads who often have their daily dose of tonsil varnish after work, but that's a different kind of varnish. / Yes, they are. Hope yours are too. I'm just talking of a country where 'varnishing' is a social activity.

  -> Thanks you, Mike. I did not know this term. I must have led a charmed life. I did not know your tonsils are in need of varnishing. They seem bright and shiny already.
