Title: Hello all Post by: Wilf19 on November 19, 2011, 20:14:42 After some time (years?) lurking on this forum I thought it was time I signed up properly, especially as I noticed that my brother had signed up and was giving his tuppence worth.

I don't really have any questions to raise right now - so I'll leave it there. I'm sure I'll think of something as I'll be on my way to Reading on Monday afternoon.
