You (or at least I) can't cross anything out on an iphone using the double dashes. The dashes just join up. It does work if I'm on my Kindle or desktop though. I've no idea why.

my house has communal gardens that lead down to the Thames, can see the moorings and boats from my back windows. Hope the Thames Barrier stays in good working order during 2019.
