I have been amongst the first to criticise when you have written material and views that I had issues with but I (finally) sense a genuine desire to resolve this issue for the benefit of all involved. If I can help in anyway please don't hesitate to ask.Alan Tilmouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201030182018368937noreply@blogger.com
