Thanks very much for your kind words Martin , been a long road but worth every bit of it , looking forward to seeing you at the launch.
Thanks also Ed , it is only fitting that I posted on this forum . Many people from this community helped me in my years of research and I have also made good friends here .
Chris, I fully understand that you could not make the launch . I will be over at my in-laws in Seer Green , Bucks possibly before Xmas so I will give you a shout and buy you that barrel of beer that I owe you .
Thanks for all your help and for writing the foreword to the book .
