@Canny lass - I will have to be more patient, looks like I jumped the gun. The photo was posted on the Facebook group, by John Dawson, yesterday so I add mine, with a few names. Loads of members commented but a couple kept contradicting each other and unfortunately I missed a few of the comments (on Facebook it doesn't show all the comments once it reaches a certain number it only shows the subsequent comments and then you have to click on a link - 'View nn more comments'. I have asked then to check and I will update, when I think they have finished - my fault I was too hasty -
@george47666 if you add a '@' at he front of the persons name you are wanting to contact the system should send a notifivation/email to that person. @Andy Millne - have I got that right?
