So...you wont be doing much then as an Idle Woman  ;D
That made me smile
 Just as a matter of intrest my Grandads sister had Elie Gayford on her boat to train her before she was allowed to
 start up her idle women  as a pilot scheme with the GUCCC. Anyone who has read the book "The Amature Boatwoman by Eily Gayford will know what im talking about

I am an old chum of Dave Blagrove..... :D
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Perhaps all rootschatters should wear a special rootschat badge in lieu of a red carnation then we'll be able to spot each other ;D

My wife and I attended WDYTYA today, and were surprised and delighted to meet you. Again you came up trumps for us.

Hi scrimnet,

Nice to meet you today;  thanks for your help with Cousin Reggie and the "Old and Bold" chap.

Thanks also for pointing me in the direction of the midwives; some useful information from them.   :D

I am back from WDYTYA and am now lying down in a darkened room... It may take a while to recover.....


As for Scrimnet - he was probably the most popular person at the show, judging by the queues to talk to him.
