FLY2 10,108 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I don't. Everything they sell, someone else does it better. More variety and choice, and many times, cheaper too, as in CD's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 About two months a go I answered the 'phone and a voice said 'Is that David Birch'. I said 'yes'. She then said that she was from Radio Nottingham and would I like to talk about my railway books. I said 'hang on, I am not that David Birch'. I told her that people had been waiting for ages for the third volume, and that I understood that he had been ill. With that she thanked me and rang off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
