Elf'n'Safety, innit?


What were the Elfin Safety people afraid of?

In the UK, they are afraid of criticism for not being anal enough, of

Referring to the rest of my post which you decided to snip, have you
ever *been* to Italy?


YAWN, no comment.

Thank you.

It is a grrreat compliment when MR POUNDER uses such terms to compliment

Mr Cheerful and Mr Nugent are two very highly respected posters to this
