Wigan looks lovely. A wonderful blend of old and new. Beautiful lush green countryside - as opposed to the desert we live in.

tonks, registration to the forum is temporarily suspended so for those members of communicate who are not forum members, posting there is not an option

I can't see any difference in communicating through the forum or debating via communicate.
If a member can read and write messages in the guestbook, announcing their annoyance at being denied the communicate section, surely they can read and write messages on the forum?
The guestbook is just as the title suggests, it's not a reserve communicate.
Stop being negative and sulky, just get on with it!

I agree with JJ. I think there was an over-reaction. They didn't close Old Trafford because there were a few bad apples. They used to bar them. The Communicate boards are badly missed. I have looked at the Forums since the board was shut and they are a waste of time.
