He's not joking either, it was freezing last Saturday and Piglet was strutting his stuff in a T-Shirt!

I'm with you on that one Lizzie. This new forum is fantastic and so much improved on the old one. No disrespect, the old one did it's job but times have changed. I particularly like being able to PM people and subsequently meet, exchange addresses/phone numbers etc with no fear of all and sundry pic...

So is your project now VERY late? I filled in your questionnaire on 13 January when you only had a couple of days to go and that was 12 days ago. Have you still not finished it?
