Its nothing compared to your generosity.

Thank you John, I actually have something you might like - a private purchase drill manual from 1914! It looks like it went through WW1 too!

Funny enough was looking at this drill manual today.

I say drill its really a torture manual

We did it at 16 when we where scrawny brats with no muscles.

The idea was to make you familiar with and strong enough to handle a 9lb SLR all day.

What was that 5 first class stamps, the cost is ridiculous nowadays and they are losing more stuff.

It's crazy the way they hike it up! Still seem to think they have a monopoly

Thanks!.
Me neither.
But we'll know one when we see one.
There's an indoor f.m. that's due for another chance, and a big outdoor one that I never tried because I was sure there was a cover charge, but it turns out there isn't. Both on Red Arrow Highway. Maybe next Wednesday.
