I am surprised that people do not use cue-bids in Australia!  In England, a 4S bid would show the ace of spades and be looking for a slam, and a double of 4S says "Do not lead a spade".

No Paul, when I type 4S I mean 4S not 4H!  Smiley

Totally off-topic for the moment....I would like to wish you - and the entire panel including the moderators - a very happy Christmas and an equally happy New Year.

Looks like you have already received a nice, if fitting Christmas present: a promotion to 5-star Hero Membership (whatever "Hero" means  Cheesy Wink Grin )
I got a much nicer present, which I shall tell you all about if you allow me one mildly off-topic post.  Smiley

You didn't mention that pard x-ed the opponents' cue-bid so I wasn't sure if it was a typo or not.

You are allowed ONE off-topic post, but only because you're a hero status subscriber  Cheesy Grin Cheesy
