Howdy peeps 

 

well the time has come to move along, I've had some great years on here , and met some cracking people however recently i have not been contributing and log on rarely ( most of those that know me are on facefook anyway ) 

 

 

i don't own a TDM so not contributing there,

 

Also feel I've gone a bit stale and crusty ( as in i don't belong not in the brotherhood so to speak).

 

so time to retire, move to pastures anew, get to joining some local clubs and have more local events. 

 

anyone that wants to keep in touch PM me and i will pass on my email address.

 

tata for noo

Reconsider Mark. You can belong to more than one forum as many on here do. How will I find my way around the lake district again???? You will be missed.

Have you ever lent someone 20 quid and never seen it again? It was probably worth it.
