I do not do apterous (yet) and I failed to get through the 'interview' when Countdown was in Leeds - but I watch the prog regularly for pleasure and to be entertained. I was not entertained by Jack.

Re: What do you do if you find a pair of glasses?
Take them to the local police station (and leave a note sticking out from under a stone). This way you give not details away.
The station may already have their details if they have been asking for them.
This way you feel OK about it and can get on with your life.
