I know The Laughing Man has already said that his "Temper, Lucy, temper" was not directed at me, but Freudian slips can be damn valuable. It's clear that my post about Muriel sounded as though I was angry with Tim / Camille for selling Muriel short. In fact, I meant to convey enthusiasm because that idea made me really think about why Muriel is valuable and important. So, although I don't think I've seriously annoyed anyone, sorry if I sounded a bit as though I was suggesting it is obvious she is too good to be dismissed - until that post I had never sat down and thought about her role at all!
