I see my name has been mentioned a few times and the question asked "do I approve of this thread".
The answer is an overwhelming YES.
I started the thread and, from a very shaky few first pages, it has evolved into something totally unexpected, I can't believe how successful it has been in drawing everyone together.
Long may it last that everyone is chatting together in such a friendly spirit, well done to everyone taking part.
PS See the amendment I made at the top of the first thread so that newcomers are not put off by the first few pages.
