Website Update

Posted on October 10, 2020 by Magicfingers

Hello boys & girls.  You may or may not have noticed, but all your comments have disappeared!  Actually, they haven’t disappeared, but it seems we have a slight glitch since the site was recently updated and the comments are failing to appear.  I can still see them and will be able to see any new ones, but there’s no point in me currently replying as you won’t be able to see my response.  So please bear with me while I sort it out.  Otherwise, we continue as normal.  I thank you.
