Does that affliction have a special name?  Tried to look it up .....

Found geniophobia, thought it might mean fear of ancestors, but it meant fear of chins    :D

Sadly, I think I am the only one with this particular phobia. Maybe that means I can make a name up for it!?!?

BagpussBee, Perhaps it is related to Potamophobia- Fear of rivers or running water?  Or is your phobia only when there's a mill involved ...

You're absolutely right and I've started another thread. Very sorry everyone to have hijacked the thread. (To be honest I thought I was going to get told off straight away!!)
