Nice one dave , i'd forgotten most of their names over the years , is it what they call a 'senior moment'?

Hi scott, if it is what they call senior moments, by god i've had a few of them, luckily though my memory of d-green is fantastic,i really miss the place and regret moving but we all do things we problably should not, not to worry eh scott i can still keep in touch with you all, thanks for your comments pal.
