The URL for the post is http://www.javaranch.com/campfire/StoryInner.jsp and it teaches Java by stories, a rather inventive take on the teaching process, effective too.

Anyway, after finishing reading the post I went back to my particular nested class problem.  I sat there staring at it for a few moments still with the inner class story in mind and suddenly it dawned on me what I was doing wrong.

Sometimes it is good to go back to basics, my thanks to the JavaRanch and its Cows :)
