    Incidentlly for those of you that attend the Liverpool meet up you will recognise the dock wall opposite the Atlantic where the venue is held.You dont have to watch the whole video move the finger along to about the last ten minutes this McNally women is talking,she is on the dock road within close proximity of the Atlantic.For the members that dont attend the meet up this will just give you the feel or the atmosphere in which the meet up takes place.If you go to the gallery and the meet ups a photo showing "Smoko" outside the pub is where I'm talking about.
    Regards.

    Not available here in Oz either. But a thought, it was not just the British M.N. that was effected by the 'box' all sea transportation, no matter from which contry, was transformed by it, was it a British invention or one imported from elsewhere?
    Happy daze John in Oz.
