I was by no means offended! My post was intended to convey that I was happy for someone else to cover the area, although I will be happy to do what I can, although my mobility is a little limited until (hopefully and depending on Dr's advice) 6th Jan next year. Of course, that's a Sunday (IIRC) so I'm hoping I can send the application form off on the friday and be allowed to drive on the 6th as planned. Of course, I'll have to rearrange insurance (all companies involved have been informed and the car lot have told me that once I'm signed off as fit to drive, they're happy that I am, so will not load my premium. Hoping the bike lot are as sensible!)
If the veterans local to me have their own transport, we have a patch of grassland within spitting distance (not quite literally but even a girl could throw a stone that far!) that would make a suitable location - I would offer my back garden but we have a cat who loathes all other 4 legged creatures (apart from rodents which she just loves!!!). There's also some woodland within a couple of minutes' drive.
BTW, just spotted your reply to Yvonne - don't think she'll have far to walk to the chap you mention!
