    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    I don't recall you asking. Please send surnames of said Matt and Liz by email or PM so I can see if I knew them.

    Belated happy birthday Lydia. Sorry I'm late to the party.

    Everyone can be a nice person. There is no residency requirement and indeed you do not even need to be nice...except when you are on the thread of course.

    In fact the only criteria is that you must dislike mushrooms*
