My word young Tom,
you have come a very long way in a short space of time that I have known you and I am delighted. Far too often us wrinkley's condemn a whole generation because of a mindless minority. Yourself and many other young Railway Modellers prove this last point admirably as do the young people who I meet caring for the Dog's in the kennels of Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Unfortunately I can't make this weekend but will try very hard for Thirsk on July 27th. Sorry I don't get the significence of this "Thirsk Show 27th July (somewhat appropriate don't you think)" Unless it's your birthday.
It's really funny when you first started posting as a very young guy,I was a tad worried about replying with all this talk of Internet Grooming and sent you a post requesting that your Dad was aware of our communicating. I refer to an earlier paragraph :-
condemn a whole generation because of a mindless minority
I often talk to young children in the supermarket when SWMBO drags me around there and now days I sometimes feel uncomfortable for no good reason.As I volunteer for Guide Dogs I am CRIB checked every three years because of dealing with Vunerable people (Visually Impaired) and in fact undertake a refresher course on this subject in three weeks time.
I thought at first "Internet Grooming" was dusting over the keyboard and column each week.
Sorry to go on Tom,keep well my friend and regards to Dad and my Girlfriend - Lass.
Regards, Derek.
