Sorry, mate. The mods have rejected my original response to you. I'd better watch my step, or else all my posts will be deleted in one fell swoop!

Oh Dear! it's not 'new brooms' one has to worry about so much as old brooms gummed up with detritus and cobwebs but with new agendas- final attempts to rule the pavements and gutters before they get unceremoniously tossed into the skip. Bloody Hell!! I can still come out with total bilge.

What's it like with you? Quiet here. I think half the households have returned to their villages to sweep out some tombs.

What's happened to that poster you passed your mantle to, 'foxy?' I think I might be to blame for his disappearance. I think I made some unfair comments when Trumpsey had me boxed in a corner- clever that Trumpsey- but foxy I refer to, like you was a really first class poster- be good to see him back. His view could have been "I'm not standing for this twaddle any longer."
