You need to click the 'click here' option before you close the window. I have fixed it for you.

Hi,

It's almost certainly 'Preventive Service' which is linked to early Customs & Excise. See attached page I found with a number of references to it. Also note date at top of page.
Hope this helps.

Arghh! upload of page image keeps failing - Have you an email address I can send it to?

Terry.

Thanks hsw and Terry

Well I would give e-amil address, but I guess it is the wrong thing to do on a public site - does this forum have a personal message thing?

Terry there is a size limit on files uploaded (if it's a full page scan that's probably the problem). How ever you can always upload files to your own hosting or file sharing sites and then put a link in the forum.
