Jeff,
Thanks for your kind words, I reckon we are getting nothing but bad economic news on both sides of the pond at the moment, which is going to have long term effects - but hey you are right, we share determination and we are used to being in the game for the long haul. Your right Jeff, we have become spoiled and weve had it easy. Ive just been watching a TV program about the oldest man in the UK, he is 110, and was a founder member of the RAF, decorated after WW1 and WW11. He still visits shhchools and talks to children about his memories; sure puts things into perspective.
Happy new year to you and yours!
Steve
