Thanks for making my comment more precise. I knew it wasn't a very good comparison, but couldn't recall the details. But apples and oranges are very similar = edible fruit, sweet, pips in the middle, skin on the outside, about the same size, green until mature when they colour up to attract the animals to eat them and distribute the seeds, cost is comparable, tree size similar, climatic conditions for growth similar. Both have acids [citric and malic]. An apple is pretty much an orange. Yes, prone to hyperbole and exaggeration and also frustrated. I try to be correct though, poetic license notwithstanding. Mqurice
