I used the shoutbox regularly in the past, note I am the second or third top shouter. I think since I have been busy and have not had a lap top upstairs I have stopped using it as much. I did like our conversations, so will endeavour to start up a line of chat using Roddo's ipad...I will be getting a new laptop shortly.

Really miss the Id page, and colour charts with stripes etc. thankfully Rodney did photocopy it and made a booklet out of it for identifying various model sandmans. but it is getting very dog eared.

Thanks for all your hard work Blocker....you are a legend without you we would not have made so many great friends in the sandman and van community.
