We now have a little diversion from our actual deal. The deal shown is a typical example of the male attitude still very occasionally found in this event - you know what I mean. North leads a heart initially but there is no second chance for West. A club switch at trick three kills 3NT stone dead.

"Sorry partner, I wanted to protect my heartAQ so it seemed right to me to rebid 2NT rather than support your suit."
