    3. That's no problem... Chris sends me one or two every now and then regardless of county. Aren't we all supposed to be working together anyway on FG? It might be Fermanagh but every now and then you get someone asking about Carlow or Kilkenny, for example, Why? Because there's no one in those counties replying! These are tolerated because they are short and sweet! FG works because of what it is!!

    3. Ok! I'll put you on my "help" list. A local would probably recognize the name whereas we who have wandered to other lands......well it's all strange to me and it's a shame to let things pass when they could so easily be recognised by a local.
