I'd like to find the number of days between two dates - is there any simple way to do this in Sage.

The reason for wanting this is quite funny, but I thought I'd use it to plug 
Sage!

Our car got damaged by a pothole. We made a claim to the council. We finally receiving a letter from their legal department denying responsibility.

Their defense is they have determined the road needs to be checked once per month.. They then provided a list of the dates the road was checked prior to the damage to our car

5th Jan 2010
3rd Dec 2009
2nd Nov 2009

Our car got damaged on the 16th Feb - clearly more than a month after the last inspection date on the 5th Jan.

I was thinking of suggesting they use Sage to find out the number of days between two dates, and so would realise that there is more than a month between 5th Jan and the 16th Feb!

How stupid can the council's legal department be to send a letter like this?
