Re: gone adrift
I'm puzzled? Why wait to the end of the post to let us know he's been bounced?

Re: gone adrift
Des, with the time difference maybe Vernon did not see it in time.
Yes Lewis was a bit off at times but deep down I did not consider him to be bad, but rules are rules and we must all abide by them even if we think some a bit odd.
But personally I do not think he had had the DCM, I reckon he is working his was through all the cheese styles in France, so doubt we will see him for a year or so.


Happy daze John in Oz.

No hard cheese in anyway, the man is a perfect gent and if he has made a choice it would not have been easy but understandable. I do hope it will be possible for him to return at some stage. Cest La Vie. K.

Re: gone adrift
A British Merchant Navy Seaman, looking for old friends, just chose to live in France,
It really should not matter but, it did. Others seem to get Carte Blanche, yet it seems
that is life. Happy New Year.
