Welcome to New Comers

Scary posting first time in a forum isn't it? Well don't worry in here, because we are as nice as pie. If you have a question or a point of view, just jump right in.

And we use smilies, honest, so it's not all dry humourless scary stuff.

Here's a typical poster >>>> :j

    What if you're a long time lurker and know all about being branded a "sockpuppet"

    wouldn't that put you off?

    Friendly banter that's all. In here we all like to engage with newcomers, and try to help, or just be their friends.

    ps. I'm not very good at this - can someone else take over?

    Or Randall and Hopkirk?

    Maybe we need to go and spread the word out there, beyond these walls. Try touting around the Moneysavers, or the Electrical Appliance section (I expect there is one).
