No question is too stupid to ask. No question is too stupid to answer. <br>

There are some great folk here willing to dive in and help out. <br>

There's a wide age range here - not sure the youngest but some folk are now retired and others of us are at least middle-aged having met at around the group's inception in a pub the name of which I cannot recall situated in Wind Street in Swansea.<br>
<br>
I try to attend the virtual meetings when work allows. I'm on a time difference as I'm currently located in the South Carolina countryside. Though I'm here, I operate a rental business in the Bridgend area while running a YouTube channel (britishtechguru) and working for the State of SC here.<br>
