Just back from Jon Smith's funeral. it was a wonderful tribute to John from Claire and others and well done to Claire for the video, the touching poem and generally for the organisation.
It was also nice to see Iain again. Note to self, don't leave the headlights on on a Belair when you only have a cripple with heart problems to help you push it

It was £45.00 + carriage direct from the publishers Iain. Superb service & very nicely packaged. The book looks brilliant too, I leafed through it last night.
(I've had to postpone my reading of Volume IV of The last train to Cockfosters so I can read this instead!)

A bit of advanced warning for you here Baub. I have just found out that I've won a ticket to visit the Vauxhall Heritage Collection on August 6th, so I advise you to either leave Luton for the day or stay completely inside your house to prevent any unfortunate, chance meetings...

Should be close to Government mandated e-GPs by then. Perhaps run on the special cycle lanes around London.

Let me know when you are coming Viv, and we could swap insults face-to-face!

PS; Don't forget to bring a knife, they are de riguer here.

Gerry; You may correct my spelling where necessary.
