Thanks folks,
It is nice to belong to a forum where most have an English (British) accent.
It took an accident and many years of pain and most of my superannuation to accumulate the kit and I still live very much day to day, I would happily return to a Box Brownie and have my legs back than all the kit in the world.
Taking 5 minutes to cross a road ain't much fun.
Cheers
Chris
