    Hemant, I suspect the Morals part of the pie is slightly too big… smile

    Oh sorry, it’s a rat!

  • Clare Herbert on 23rd May 2010:

    I agree with Giedre - the pie makes ‘em look far too moral. It’d be a much smaller piece.

  • Giedre Steikunaite on 24th May 2010:

    Clare, it’d be so small, almost invisible smile

  • Clare Herbert on 26th May 2010:

    So true Giedre.
