Alison,

Mary already asked that question of me last month, which I forwarded to
Tim, who replied that it is not an attribute that we hold in the Dove
Database, nor do we hold inscriptions.However he and the team did reply
with the following list last month.

Graham,

I'm afraid this is the best we can manage for the moment.  It has provided
a moment of light relief from our focus on producing Dove 11.

I hope it is of some use.

Tim
