motty Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 It seems an odd decision to "resign" from the forum. Hopefully we will see him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Seemed a genuinely grand bloke. If I had half his mechanical knowledge I’d be chuffed. I liked him and will miss his contributions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 What a shame I liked his posts, they were written in his very own style and spelling. Will be a sad loss, if you look in Ditchy come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefor Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Has anyone considered it might have nothing to do with PW but (could be) a worsening of his wife's condition requiring all of his attention? Nice guy with a sensible attitude to many things. Whatever his reasons, I wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be missed but he has his reasons- think Its Viking’s fault— selling his Landy and Tractor then buying a BMW tipped him over the edge....... quite possibly true mate, he was a man on the edge, he has good reasons for leaving really, and thats all i can say, he will be sorely missed, im sure he will rear his ugly head next time someones restoring a series land rover, he wont be able to help himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I will miss his cheesy innuendo and musings. His reasons for no longer being part of the forum are his own and I wish him all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 he has actually just asked me to thank you all for your kind words, and he also asked me to say from him, "so long, and thanks for all the fish" (ditchie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a decent enough chap who posted some good threads. If you want loons try the guy who ran off crying nearly three years ago because he got told he wasnt going to have it all his own way on here. He now spends his days submitting anonymous reports to the forum and printing off things people post trying to get them in trouble with organisations they volunteer with. All because in 2011 one of us said his home made shooting seat didnt look very good and that we weren't interested in him posting detailed descriptions of his seedy sex tourism in the far east. Or the idiot hell-bent on telling people PW is run by an Irish conspiracy group. Those are loons we are better off without. Ditchman was ok and I'm sorry to see him go.

marsh man Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Very sad news indeed , I followed most of his land rover rebuilding thread and to tell yer the truth , I was no wiser at the end of it as far as the mechanical side go but it was like reading a good book , once you started reading it you were always looking forward to what was going to happen next . He only live a few mile down the road from me and one day our path might cross and I am sure we will be on the same wave length from the start , and in own dialect we will try to put the world to right on all manner of subjects , look after yourself ditchy and keep a smile on your face .
