Sherlock, Ron was just a wind up merchant most of it light hearted and he did like to "GO FISHING"
and their were plenty who took the bait
I did speak on the land line and through email to him and he did seem a genuine nice guy, he even invited me to play golf in france at a friends Chateau.
As for other forums , C/T i used to frequent but not in the recent past........ I was chastised and rapped on the knuckles for a light hearted reply to a post. So dont bother now.

oh well, not to worry
