Welcome to the 'Cat. I assume you still live in Britain somewhere. If you let us all know which part of the country you are located, someone might know other Mudcatters in the same general area (There are plenty of 'catters in Yorkshire, a unch surrounding London. quite a number in South Wales etc. Don't be too specific, because it is an open forum and any nutter can read it (general internet safety practice).
Mostly we're a fun bunch.
Good advice is "Think before you post"; "read the thread before making a fool of yourself"; "If you still want to make a fool of yourself, stick a big grin next to it...".
Have fun.
Quack!
