Welcome Claire. [talkingscot]

We all end up going round in circles though most of us do not have such a good emoticon!! Please post if you have a particularly knotty problem that you feel we can help with. The reason that everyone here is so keen to help is that we have all been in a terrible tangle ourselves at some stage and grateful to get helped out of it.

What's a Campbell doing all the way down in Cornwall?? I originally come from Campbell country myself.
