2.30pm Ask ST forum for advice on windproofs-no replies.

paen - had to look that up, good word.

Yeah, Merlin delivered my forks in quick time last week. They're a very easy and reliable company to deal with.

I was at Merlin early last week about 4 pm and they had both Royal Mail and UPS there at the same time so they make sure the orders get out !!

Roger, apologies, must have been editing as you posted!

FOG, not only that, but I did both Latin and Greek (GCSE, I'm not that old!) a year early. I have a Latin A-level as well.
