It's been sometime since my last post on the blog but I have tried to be as active as I could on the existing ones. I read all the posts and my thanks go to Paul Eaton who has listed many of my comments just to prove I do exist! I try to answer points raised in the blogs but unless there is a specific issue, I just can't answer each post individually.

Because there's a lot to say, I thought it would be better to serialise this blog over the next week with each episode covering a different topic. I will make no apologies for the titles and many thanks to the memory of Mr Adams.
