I keep on finding hardship clause and maybe this is right, but I feel it has more to do with 'hardness' than hardship.

agree  Ken Cox: but it sound to me like somewhere along the line somebody confused 'hardship' with 'hardness'
5 hrs
  -> Thanks, Ken (:-{)> I think it was hard to accept the 'uitloting' - hence my reference to unfairness

  -> Thanks, P. (:-{)> Shame about the unfairness clause - maybe Baldrick could have invoked it? Now there's a cunning plan! I also heard "there ain't no sanity clause" a long long time ago./Pity your reference page doesn't have an English equivalent
