Thank you for the history lesson Graham. I have always been interested in
how it all got started and marvelled at those who built the first Europa
---From scratch in only a fraction of the time it is taking me to stuff around.
Makes me feel a bit inferior, believe me !
I always suspected you had a hand in it somewhere because of the fact that
you knew all those involved. I take it Nev Eyre must have come along later
?
Just last night I overheard my wife on the phone say to a friend that we are
going to the UK and Europe next year. Can you believe that ? as the old
adage goes, 'where there's smoke there's fire' so I must try to fan it along
a bit !
Good to hear from you and be good mate
Cheers
Kingsley
