everything I post, that would be very silly, but just occasionally some
feedback would have been nice from others in Scotland citing their own
experiences. Indeed, some feedback from people outside Scotland would
sometimes have been welcome!

I do read posts from all over the UK, and would certainly encourage
everyone to keep on posting. Just lay off the cricket, it's for people
who find paint drying unexciting.
