I think you may be right  :) It will be interesting to see if I can find anymore about the connection between them.
Thank you so much

You have got a couple of other question marks in your transcription, but they don't appear in the snip?

Yes JenB you're right. I haven't posted the full image as I didn't think it was allowed. But assume that I can post a couple more clips.
Thanks

If you want us to take a look at the other question marked words you could post a couple of snips, but do enough to put things in context
