Gidday! (notice the change to good ol' Kiwi colloquialism?

Thanks for your view on this, my problem was that I thought that assigning the value of this to a property, created a permanent or static reference rather than a pointer to 'this'. Therefore as you have also pointed out to accurately test, you have to reference a constant ie name/value.

I always think it's kinda strange speaking to someone over the net when they are literally just round the corner
