I rather think this proves my point about having too many grading systems, some of which, as in this case, appear to verge on the ridiculous from a linguistic point of view.. I note that HA have remained aloof in this debate (as seems to be their default position, though to be fair when I have had a disagreement over their rating of a poster I bought they reimbursed not only the cost of the poster but all associated costs with having it returned from UK, even though for very unusual reasons that was over a year later!). I will take the opportunity to respond to Bruce et al in due course. As I quoted Alan in my original post I would br interested to know if he is still of the same opinion eight years on.
