ummm,...Julian Calendar?

Sorry, Demetri, I had a choking fit when first I saw your response.
Civil calendar not Church calendar, of course............. (When visiting Greece I never referred to New or Old Calendar rather preferring the terms Civil and Church. It certainly evoked some interesting responses).
Thank you for bringing a little colour to my grey face today.
P.s. It also avoids me having to explain to certain others who Julia was!
