Exactly, we are a very lucky bunch and we should be thankful. Health is the main thing really!

It is a Spanish restaurant and it is a very good one. My whole family went their on the first night of a weekend in Warwick. We had a excellent meal, good wine, great food and Catalan (Malcolm) was charming host.

I have been in the building trade all my working life ( 30 years this year, yikes). I have been self employed for around half of that time and own a company which specialises in loft conversions.About three years ago I bought a couple of houses to renovate and resell, I enjoyed doing them so much I decided last year to do it full time. It so much less hassle than working for joe public, I can turn up late, or not at all if I don't feel like it.Its great not having to go out nights and weekends to do quotes for customers and put up with some of the hassle that comes with working in people's homes, I love it

For the past 20 years I've run a paint manufacturing business. Believe it or not, we only make one paint, in one colour (dark brown) in one sized unit (1 lt.). But its the best in the World (even if I say so myself!).

It's an ultra long life anti-foul. So while it tends to be used on high end craft such as super-yachts, if anybody on here has a boat of any size, I can help. It may be the most expensive litre of paint on the market, over the long term it provides the best value.

Nice to know Phil and thanks for the kind offer..!! If someone wanted to order something from you, would they contact you directly via the forum, or do we have to go through a web site and quote a ref..!!

As it would be on a low key basis then contact me would be best. I am always happy to hear from anybody with any request. (well nearly)
