Correction .....Neville wasn't talking about likes or dislikes. He made a suggestion on effective writing which he is repeating from the teachings of experienced bush poets.Maureen K Clifford wrote:Neville will get you he doesn't like these back to front thingies

I wasn't in a flap Maureen. Men don't flap.
And as Bob has said, sometimes inverted phrases fit the piece, of course they do.
