A note from the administrator.

I have had to close the forum to new members. Registration is shut. I'm sorry for it - but I can no longer vouch for who comes through the door.

You may also find that certain older topics are no longer where you left them. I have, with great reluctance, removed a small number of threads and posts from this forum. I did so at the written request of a firm of solicitors acting for the landowner, who hold that the material touched on matters they would prefer were not aired in public.

I have complied, because I am one man and they are not. I want it set down plainly, here, that I did so under protest, and that I do not accept the grounds. Nothing removed was untrue. Nothing removed was anyone's business to suppress.

But I will not delete this board. What is left here stays, and you may read it for as long as I can keep the lights on. I have locked the doors; I have not burned the house. I have kept copies of everything. I would ask, gently, that those of you who hold anything of your own do the same.

<t>Known thing. Pipe tobacco in our hall, and nobody has smoked in the house in our time. Always the foot of the stairs. I rather look forward to it. Whoever he was, he stood there of an evening and had his pipe, and a bit of that is still in the house. The houses hold more than we think. Mostly the...

Not the only one. I have logged a few. There is a flush bracket on the chapel gable that nobody ever notices. Quiet work. I like that nobody else wants it.
