*        Hello, Mum!   See you later!

†        Oh, they were fascinating, when I saw them, Debbi: my Uncle Brian and Aunty Thelma had one, when I was young.

        It wasn’t as impressive as the first TV remote I saw: that just let you change the channel, or the volume, but it more impressive than pushing a button!

        (Hopefully, today’s answers are short: but there’s no more ten question sets for the rest of September.)
