Thanks Mick and Malcolm. Malcolm I had actually seen your spotting yesterday while leaving and had noticed my spelling error. But, the kids were waiting desperately for me at home to fly kites and I left in a hurry without changing it. Thanks for bringing it to my notice.
Nice one Satyen - the name is spelt "Avadavat" in all my books
Good catch!
