Only found this site yesterday. looks fun.

Live in Nottingham, have a part hand in http://www.thegreenboxshop.co.uk which is run by my wife.

If I had solely my way, I would have the whole back of the house covered in old radiators & water tanks. But there you go...

Poor margo she is never much liked :lol: You will change to Jerry when you get to 25 posts so not too much longer, it is a bit of a step away before you are tom, I think it is about 50 can't actually remember what I set it as.
