Hi Anne Smile - it's Friday! The way the query was worded was asking for that precise reply, and George was the only one brave enough to do it, though I guarantee that a lot of us were thinking precisely the same thing. Life is too short to be serious all the time, and smiling is so good for you. Pour yourself a glass of wine and relaaaaaaaax. Take care John ________________________________ From: Anne Peat <anne@peat.me.uk> To: George Carter <gacarter@btinternet.com> Cc: "essex-uk@rootsweb.com Rootsweb" <essex-uk@rootsweb.com>; Essex-UK-Admin@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, 5 April 2013, 13:28 Subject: Re: [Ess] Dating telegraph poles...
