Sorry us youngsters don't have the time to read every post. Sorry us youngsters have to work 10 hours a day and raise a young family inbetween. But again I'm sorry I'm too lazy to find someone willing to trade. Yours sincerely the younger generation Strange how we manage to work, raise youngsters and peruse the Forum!

You have it easy, full time work plus enforced overtime, did the overnights with the kids so the wife could sleep, and had to get information from newsgroups and forums on a dial up connection. Every one has it hard at some point mucka, unless your very lucky. Online life is now quicker than its ever been, everything is a few clicks away. Sorry if this starts another "when I wer a lad" escapades. 😁 Anyone else remember OE Newsgroups?
