Almost on a daily basis! We have an active and very good club here in Oxford
which I belong to. Our patron is Gary Rance, who is probably the best skew master in the UK. Maybe you have heard of him over in the US. Keep those edges sharp and the shavings flowing.

Will you forgive me, please!(:-) Don't worry about it - apologies all mine - I just couldn't resist that. LOL. I used to work with American tourists, and I was quite used to questions like "What part of England is Scotland in?". I was often tempted to direct them to the nearest pub for an answer! But the southern English could be as bad - many of them thought Scotland started at Yorkshire. My best ever was a very charming American lady, who asked how she could get to see around a local country mansion. I explained it was a private residence and not open to tourists. She thought for a moment and very seriously asked, "Is that allowed?" John |

Canadian border with the ski's strapped to the top of their urban assault vehicles in July, and ask how much farther before they can go skiing ;-)))))))))) Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo http://homepage.mac.com/l.vanderloo/PhotoAlbum27.html On Oct 14, 9:56*pm, John wrote: On Thu, 9 Oct 2008 20:39:13 +0100, "alan.holmes" wrote: "John" wrote in message .. .
