Changing Careers or spelt with a 'W' or a 'B'?

I just loved a story I saw on BBC World News America tonight. Apparently there is a place called Wookey Hole in Somerset and they held auditions for a witch (must have a good cackle.)

Same here! No virus alert or anything. I downloaded the K-Lite pack because I had an older version and this thread reminded me to update it.

Re: BKS Bristol Freighter
