Hi
How does an original posting from 2011 suddenly make front page news on the Common Room forum in 2026 ??!
I don't know , but it seems to make a good point for never making websites slim down or at worst defunct.
 Well done Rootschat for keeping these pages up and running for over 20 years.
Long may it remain!

Yes, well done Rootschat once again !

The original poster  was only on RC for 3 months !

I was interested in this as I used to live just round the corner  from William Grant`s house.
