My apologies, but things have been quiet for quite a while while I cope with ill health and an unremitting workload. I’ve kept the forum free of spam, dodgy messages etc but over the last 7 days we have been hit recently with even more – around 200 new posts every day. They are all spam and quite easy to remove but to disable each new account takes a l-o-n-g time.

I will continue to block each spam account but have decided to close down for new posts in the hope that they will go away.

Over time, I hope this will help.

Fingers crossed!
