              oh yes, I'll deal with that ...so funny cos the Calvados cream you serve with it said 'add 4 teaspoons of calvados'....Snowdrop read it as 4 tablespoons... honest and he wondered why he couldn't beat it stiff

                According to the OED:

                _ sequela (_________). Pl. sequelæ (__________).

                1. Path. A morbid affection occurring as the result of a previous disease. Chiefly pl.
                c1793 Encycl. Brit. (ed. 3) XI. 299/2 But..these sequelæ of this disease are perhaps more readily overcome by country air.
                1816 A. C. Hutchison Pract. Obs. Surg. (1826) 115, I had, recently, a case of the sequelæ of this malady.
                1876 J. S. Bristowe Th. & Pract. Med. (1878) 529 The change..is sometimes a sequela of myocarditis.
                b. transf. A consequence.
                1883 Spectator 28 Apr. (Stanf.), Those terrible sequelæ which interfere so deeply with human happiness.
                1910 Q. Rev. Apr. 429 Ostentation and oppression on the part of the rich with the sequelæ of vice, crime and demoralisation.
                2. A person’s followers (cf. sequel n. 1). rare.
                1858*9 Marsh Eng. Lang. xxx. (1860) 673 The long e in there, which Walker and his sequela make identical with a in fate.

                          I strongly suspect that the colour of the sky in Wayne's world is exactly the same as mine - should we start a self-help group?
