Sorry to hear that Tony.
I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm out and about in Leighton Buzzard mate.
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Had a word with Margaret at the campsite and she says she cannot cope with around 80 people for breakfast, so if you want a breakfast put your name down for one. Otherwise you will have to use the Barby or get something on the road. She is also going to supply us with a small marquee so we can shelter if it does start to rain and also cook in it as well...

Guys I have gone over to the dark side and just put a deposit on a new Rocket classic. I hope I will not be flogged or put in the stocks for that.  I see my fellow G/dragon residents are also on the dark side so all is well.
