    I did point out he'd be driving in a couple of years Beanie and actually it's more popular with young folk going out while our town is more popular with over 25s, I also told him we would take his ideas into consideration but still might move there depending on what is available...

    OK topic for first essay is now decided upon and books acquired from library, lots of reading done on trains:cool:

    So as well as lugging four very heavy books I realised I needed both milk and potatoes so had to carry them all home, books ok as in back pack but the bag of shopping seemed to get heavier on the way home (it's about a mile) but on the upside it stayed dry:D
