Re: The Thanks Thread
You are very welcome here Dave, but please bear in mind that this forum has a strict 'no politics' policy. There are highly divisive topics in British politics too, and it's better to just steer clear.

Re: The Thanks Thread
Welcome, Dave! For what it’s worth, I regularly use a US-based forum - run by the NAWCC, a completely different topic but the same friendly welcome, and willingness of Stateside members to offer great advice to a Limey. It’s all about sharing a common interest. Best regards,

Re: The Thanks Thread
My Thanks go to Keith (Keith's TV) for sending me a comprehensive Ferguson TX9 manual, this had more parts to it than the one I had years ago when I was trading.
Many Thanks Keith
