It is so long since I've seen a posting on this newsgroup that I'm nt
sure if anyone will read this. Happy New Year, anyway, and a strong
wish for our service men and women to see it through safely.

Devon still have theirs?

Happy new year anyway.

And to you Steve!
Keep the Devon moors but I'm not too sure about those up North :-)

"We trained hard to meet our challenges but it seemed as if every time we were
beginning to form into teams we would be re-organised. I was to learn later in
life that we tend to meet any new situation by re-organising; and a wonderful
method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing
confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation."

Gaius Petronius (ca. 27-66)
