We have this one too..... 
We're going to open a Raggies forum next, a huge one with naked ladies offering their services free of charge. Then we'll ban all the Raggies and use it ourselves.
World domination is the ultimate aim, even the Freeman owners won't know whats hit them

Now can anybody recommend any non-marking slippers?

It's happened I have turned into a complete Birchwood Anorak. I am viewing both forums here and the new Birchwood one at 7 am on a Sunday morning. I Was down at the boat yard yesterday taking off the covers as she goes back in on Wednesday. Back to day with the family to get them cleaning and polishing. So I have only today due to work commitments to do what took me a week alone last year. Am I going to ache in the morning
