Was thinking the same thing.
Hopefully he is ok.
Possibly just very busy with his new business,and/or a bit fed up with the forum?

As said, hopefully he's ok.

Maybe sailed off into the sunset with Mr Wilks and his new Audi. Good luck to all who sail in her. :)

Maybe he:

a) fell off another ladder
b) went off on another of his epic sulks
c) set course for the Bermuda Triangle
d) ground off both hands in his sanding booth
e) all of the above

I spoke to John a couple of days ago and he has been unwell of late so he hasn’t been on the Forum lately. I hope you don’t mind me letting people know John.

Hey,

The black dog has been snapping at my heels for a good few years but it really went for the throat recently, it's an evil thing to have and anyone with it has my upmost sympathy. The blasting workshop is closed for now until I'm in a safe place, how long thatll be I don't know.

Best to you all. :thumbsup:
