New Members - please read before posting

Be civil
Don’t post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech.

Keep it clean
Don’t post anything obscene or sexually explicit.

Respect each other
Don’t harass or troll anyone, impersonate people, or expose their private information.

No politics or religion
Nothing starts a fight faster than politics or religion, so we don't allow those discussions.

Keep personal information private 
All posts in the forums are easily found via search engines, so unless you're willing to expose your information to the world, please do not post telephone numbers, e-mail addresses etc in your posts.

Have a little patience
We are a club made up of members who have to work days or nights so can’t always reply straight away, someone will get back to you as soon as they can, so please be bear with us.

Thread titles

Be accurate with your topic by giving a brief sentence of the problem, hint or tip you would like to get across to other members. 

These are not concrete terms with precise definitions — avoid even the appearance of any of these things. If you’re unsure, ask yourself whether you'd go on TV and publicly say it on camera.

This is a public forum, and search engines index these discussions. Keep the language, links, and images safe for family and friends.

Understood

Thanks thanks Peter.

One omission ( should be added Trevor?), from this set of Forum Etiquette ‘rules’, is that all important and most frequently overlook principle

                                 Politeness. 

Why does it now appear so difficult for many, to use the words           Please and Thank you? 

Constructive grizzle! - How many new posters do we see who simply wade in with ‘ Can you tell me how to…..’? 

The other (more often) ignored aspect is to acknowledge advice given.

Finally:-  follow-up on advice given. This is so often ignored, that when it happens, it really is surprisingly refreshing! 
 

Grizzly over! 
Kind regards,

Gareth.
