It is eight years. Ian and I started a business together. He passed away before he could see it come to fruition. He was going to ride his 'bike to Ipswich and Stratford and I would cover Chelmsford and Colchester. Colchester has closed since then. His Dad was a great supporter of the idea and supplied our first job. I wonder if he mentioned this to anyone? Just curious. I agree that Kevan has done a great job. It is still a very useful site. ----- Original Message ----- > Good grief - is it really eight years? > > Hurrah for Ian, and for Kevan who has not only kept Ian's baby alive, > but nurtured it and watched it grow as well.
