MaxI tried to PM you via "ragtime" but kept getting service not available.
Very sorry to hear about your troubles. I will be seing what I can do personally. Problem is with the UK banks remitance charges for drafts or transfers eat up much of small donations - and if any european catters wish to make donations I doubt if anyone would wish to see 50% of what we donate going into the pockets of the banks.
If this financial state continues could i suggest a deposit account with a London Branch of a bank - with one monthly transfer stateside.
This would give a focus for collection of a number of modest donations, by cheque or by standing order, and enable us who wish to to make continued monthly payments.
Frankley the Mudcat has given me, and I am sure many others, hours of enjoyment - And I for one would like to put something back.
Gareth.
