I hear what you say UK and I didnot mean my comment directly at your friend, I am much the same myself. But you must have been in the wholsalers and stood at the counter and listened to some of the chancers being served and the comments made. PUKE.PUKE. I am the first to admit their are some great young craftsmen out their, for my sins I had a spell at assessing at the local college so I do know what is gouing on. But we do have to have change. Good luck to your friend I hope he continues to have some involvement in the trade we do need him.
