    Certainly wasn't thinking about consultation - that's for sure.:rolleyes:

  • Hi

    Not sure what my label is, not too bothered anyway. Martin has posted a reply to all the criticisms on the forum linked on post number 3 (on last page of that forum at mo).
    I agree with his sentiments and feel it's good to debate these labels given lightly, but which can cause offence to the minority.
