I forgot to say I also met Alison's children and her partner Mark who has started the Craigilee thread so he qualifies as a Mudcatter, and Terry, an organiser of the St Albans festival who is a very-nearly-but-not-quite 'Catter because he said he was tempted to respond to some comments in the St Albans thread but stopped himelf just in time. Speaking about time, it is probably only a matter of time before he posts a reply or a new query and he'll be Mudcatted before he knows it - addicted like the rest of us.
