    With respect Graham, Nick is our Tech on site and is a very good one at that, if not for him a lot would not work as it does! He has put much work in here. Brian (Site Owner) is very reliant on Nick!
    He is invaluable to us here!
    Give him a Thumbs up! He well deserves it!
    Cheers

    Thank You for explaining who he was/is ! Vernon.I was obviously not aware of it as as we don't all sign in on a daily basis,sometimes people can go AWOL for weeks or months as we all know -there's a real world out there-although sometimes I 'd rather stay here,back in our British Merchant Navy days world!

    Well done Nick-like all Techies you do a grand job!clap hands.gifCheers.gif Yasou !
