[melbourne-pug] dicts not always printing (and thus processing) in the same order they were created in (or, Im doing it WRONG ????)

[David Crisp]

Thanks everyone,

I have examined the way I was writing my code and .. Bulk deleted the 
entire block that was causing the problem with the intention of re-writing 
it! :)

Okay:  SO i had a look at what I was doing and realsied it was slightly 
regressive so I am having another look at my structure!

Regards,
David Crisp
