My thoughts were to do likewise as I logged on this morning John – You could not have put it better.

 

Have a great break everyone and all the very best for the coming year, may it be a productive one for all.

And to all those who have given help unstintingly, grateful thanks and the compliments of the season to you all.

A nice little story heard this afternoon in my local hardware shop. A woman went in for some coal this morning, and her little girl said “Mummy, you can’t light a fire tonight, cos Santa’s coming down our chimney”. Charming and refreshing.

Happy Christmas from one who thoroughly enjoys following – and leaning from – the discussions here. It makes me feel part of a world wide community. (Does anyone still use LBSC’s term, the ‘Brotherhood’?) It’s been great to make direct contact with some of you during the past year. Best Wishes for the coming year to all of you.

 

Bill.

Yup, season’s greetings to one and all. Even though it doesn’t seem much like Christmas here…

[Geoff TheasbyParticipant @geofftheasby]

Merry Christmas to all readers of this forum, and of the magazines, not forgetting the staff who work hard to produce my favourite reading matter. I appreciate all that I have learned whilst being associated with Model Engineer, and all the help I have received, despite my ignorance. Here’s to 2012!

 

Regards

Geoff
