Oh Bookbox that is great.

You have lead me to 'thro not appreciating satire'

Thank you.

I think they are 'Endians' and not 'Indians'.
According to my dictionary -
Endian - : a reference to Swift's Gulliver's Travels, in which the Lilliputians were divided into two camps, those who ate their eggs by opening the ‘big’ end and those who ate them by opening the ‘little’ end.

Finally ... I think it's cleavernis = cleverness ?

Yes, goldie, you're right, they're Endians, sorry!

[Deskman]

Cleaverness is clever. Thank you Bookbox

That page of text looks so much better now.

I think we can close this with huge thanks to Bookbox and goldie61.

[Bookbox]

Horrible hand! You've done amazingly well with it 

[Deskman]

Thanks Bookbox. It has been a lonely task but I'm much perked up by the folks here.
