    I'm just visualising a Dave Gorman "Found Poem" using some of the posts from that thread. :D

    As a matter of interest anyone else post on Cherry?

    I know ACG does and Valleyboy from on there used to post regularly on here, but anyone else?

    I'm a bit obvious as I use the same login for both... :D

    Cherry and our e-mail system does not get on. Signed up, never get the verification e-mail, chase it and the same answer.


    I get the e-mails advertising often enough, so will be hitting junk soon.


    Seems like the same sharing as on here, although maybe a little more sharing best practice and lender information as advisor only on parts.


    I have not seen a post for a while from a few members, although imagine they are as busy as us and I know some of you are.


    Not missing Conrad's contributions though..

    Yep. The edifying drag along the A5 to Hinckley is just wonderful. :D

    Hahaha, MIA.

    I'm still about, I appear to have become very cynical recently (and I know why!)

    I seem to write a fair few posts that are sarcastic, then delete them before hitting the post button as it really wouldnt help the situation! Am I the only one who does this?
