I have a few old members on mine so catch up a bit with them that way.
Would like to add a few more though.

Re: A job for knockdown fittings ?
As in KD blocks? No...I'd prefer a hidden jointing system. I was going to say! The best thing i bought was the zeta P2 or whatever its called! If you have a local rep, just to ask borrow it for the duration of the job in hand then give it back when done and just say you’ll think about it.

As I suspected I’m not eligible which is a shame.
It’s going to be too hard for me to come back from this without drastic actions.
I won’t be having 3/4 of the staff back - the company will be ok but I reckon there is a year to 2 years to get it back to where it was!
