I thought I saw one for sale on here not long ago - Can't seem to find it when searching though. You may have better luck than me in doing a search in sales. All the best, Len

It's a classic isn't it? I can picture it now - Folk chatting after a great night, all in good spirits, maybe after a few nice record deals......."Yeh, great to see you too, and thanks for doing a good turn on those few, well pleased! See you at The 100 Club next week!".........(Enters mate's car)......"What a night! Did you hear.....?" (The 'verbal' starts).......'Broom Broom' the cars zooms off........ Len

I'm not naming names either - But a lad I know left a pile of records on his mates' car roof after a do, they drove off and he didn't realize until they were home! They went back and collected most, but some were never found. Oh dear - The evils of drink Len

when I think of the money I've wasted on records over the years it makes me realise I could have instead got a lovely car, lesson learned All the best, Len

All well 'n' good thanks Steve. I'm still in 'cloud cuckoo' land having just returned home from a fabulous holiday - Disney was great fun but exhausting, so was glad to head to Clearwater for a few days. I say 'cloud cuckoo' land as to be able to have a holiday like that after 20 years of Whitby every year is amazing! Ref photography, I have to admit, I never really saw the 'skill' in it. As far as I was concerned, you just point a camera and press the button Yeh sorry about that folkz! I now know that there is more to it - Focus etc etc aside, the fun bit, well skill really, is what is behind the shot, the waiting, and of course capturing a 'moment'. The sunset picture looks even better when seen straight from my phone camera than on this larger computer screen - Can anyone tell me why? All the best, Len 'David Bailey' Dopson

Hi Guys, I'm no photographer (hence first time I've posted any on here) But I think these couple of snaps are pretty good... This first one is of an Osprey (Sea Hawk) I think that is what the captain of the boat my family and I went on said anyway - It 'swooped' across the top of our boat, and I just pointed my phone camera and hoped for the best! This second one is a 'memory' one for me - It's of a stunning sunset after a wonderful day on Clearwater Beach with my family just last week Keep them photos coming! All the best, Len

I also agree. But to be fair, not everyone is articulate, so how their written words come across don't necessarily reflect exactly how they are saying it. (If that makes sense) Len

Hi Julian, There's nothing at all wrong with leaving feed-back. I've never really thought about it, and of course before the internet it wasn't 'a thing'. If I am convinced that it is important, I will leave feed-back from now on in (But I want 5% discount on purchases) All the best, Len

'None of the above' - Some (like myself) simply don't leave feed-back. No big deal / or any thought behind not doing so. As said, most would leave feed-back if prompted. It's just something I've never done (No mischief behind it) All the best, Len

It is terrible news, which will hit lots of us hard. I know Win was writing a book - It would have been a very good insight to our Scene. Len.

So sad - Winston was lovely. Had many interesting conversations / and laughs with him over the years. RIP mate. Len 'n' Nina x

Classic! Len

...Ya did! I even read it all - Well done that man. Now late for work - Thanks. Len

'Guilty as charged' - But if someone asked me to leave feed-back I would. It's just something I've never bothered with, and I don't check on a person's feed-back before I buy. Silly really I suppose, but I'm a trusting person. As far as people not replying in general, well that is a pet hate of mine. Nowadays, when a person has the info they require, they don't feel the need to reply / acknowledge receipt of such - It's rude, and annoying. Len

Doh! That's my bid gone (Doubled) Len

I'm gonna have a punt on the auction for 'The Sweets' with the thinking that most people will think there's no chance, so won't bother bidding Not got a clue what it's worth in today's market (Yeh I know, what I am prepared to pay) Can't see my bid winning, but auctions can surprise. BEAUTIFUL tune. Len

Good idea - Funnily enough, I drove past 'my' old record shop just yesterday, and commented to the Mrs that it was a shame that it had been boarded up and closed years ago. I visited Martin's Record Shop (Oxford Street, Wellingborough) every Sat morning for years when I was a younun' Len

£400.00 maybe - Don't quote me on it though! Great record! Len

Lots of events are are far too light anyway - Blo*dy health and safety 'in case of fire' guide lights etc. Kills the atmosphere. Sorry, another subject all together, but it annoys me. I don't want to be able to see the people on the opposite side of the hall - 'Dark and dingy' is what is needed Ok - Back on topic please Len

Amazing prices - When's it gonna end?! Len

I'm not sure if there's a suitable venue that big - Basically you mean a venue 5 times the size of current All-nighter venues, along with a dance floor of that size ratio. Sywell Aerodrome here in Northants has a great Aircraft Hanger venue. It's huge, but with a poxy small dance floor in the middle, and loads of carpet for tables and chairs - If you could sort the dance floor, it would be a fantastic Weekender venue. It has several rooms, lovely surroundings, and an Art Deco Bar and Hotel (We could do with another weekender) If there is a venue of such size, the problem would be getting thousands of people there. Btw - I think there is some sort of festival type thing planned next year somewhere (Not sure of the details) All the best, Len

Mace played a different version to 'Cajun Hart' in the 80's. Not sure if it was the Geoffrey Meteliko version (It didn't seem so 'cheesy' if I remember rightly) A long time ago, so could have been it. Len

There's me just about to write Nina's card..... Len

There are some DJs that I rate / some I don't so much (In the nicest possible way I hasten to add) I just enjoy what they do.....'OVO' this 'OVO' that - I have less time for 'Mr Souless' who just happens to have all the original 'top tunes' 'The End' Len

Or don't mention 'OVO' ever again! (We never used to) Len
