Welcome to Blighty!

Hope the weather is to your liking?  Snowing one week and then 75+ degrees the
next!

Well, just so happens that I have a car for sale, oh and an Aprilia RSV Mille
1000cc Italian superbeast.  This is due to my undertaking an unmarked cop car
at 120mph on the M4 last summer!

If you are interested in car, I can assure you of an absolute bargain! mail me
off-line if you want... brian.lilley@xxxxxxxxxxx  Also, maybe we can get
together for a swift pint or six.

cheers, Brian

Hi, Brian.  It was me, indeed.  I moved over here in December and have
been having a good time.  Took me a while to get settled, but I've
rented a flat in High Wycombe and have been settling in nicely.  The
last thing I need to do is purchase a car, and hope to do that in the
next month or so.  Since then, it's been a car hire, which is starting
to get a bit dear.  Hopefully, the car loan will come in after the
next paycheck!

I appreciate all the advice that was posted here for my benefit.  I've
considered all of it, though acted on only some, as would be expected.
 Oh, and Ron, I did pay my TV tax for my nice new plasma!

Spencer
