It's me again, that occasional visitor, I see the thread is over 1100 pages, what a waste of trees!

As for Christmas, had a friend on Facebook complaining that the Christmas Lights were on in Leeds a couple of weeks back, (I think they must have been testing them:lol

Right I'm off, see you all in another two months

We spent quite a few years "tugging" a van round, we'd progressed from tents to trailer tents and then to the van, most of our van holidays were spent on temporary sites with just a fresh water tap and chemical loo disposal point, unfortunately the arthritis started causing problems and after weighing up the insurance and storage costs we sold it and blew the proceeds on two weeks in Cyprus Never looked back.

We now prefer to let someone else make our beds and cook our breakfast

This forum has over 13000 members, any one of these kitchen companies would be unable to cope with that many emais, their servers probably couldn't cope, plus they would either have to sift through every mail or simply purge their inbox, potentially losing genuine customers in the process

Or perhaps someone should set up a national database of spammers, internet users all over the world could refer to the list whenever they wanted something....and avoid giving business to anyone listed

As for the poor Mods on here I'm sure they're doing their best to combat the problem.

is anyone else a bit annoyed at the sheer quantity of spam for Kitchen sales that has been posted recently?

May I suggest everyone on the forum follows the links and contacts these kitchen companies with waste of time enquries, it might make spammers think twice if they find themselves having to go through 300-400 useless emails

Thanks for the input folks, I may try one or two (or more) of those suggestions, if they don't have any effect I may just put the gear in mothballs for a while and see if that works.

TOO much information!

Regulars may have noticed my lack of posts over the recent months, some of you may have even rejoiced over it, suffice to say my creativity has been at an all time low, went to a Steampunk gathering a few weeks back at Bolsover Castle and even "forgot" to take my camera Visiting York for a few hours today and only took the camera as the wife "made" me

I'm sure some of you have hit the same brick wall and I need to know how you overcame it, otherwise I can see my gear ending up in the classifieds

On the other hand your a lot nearer the Antarctic than him

You have to remember HG that Gareth is a lot nearer the Arctic Circle than you

You could also consider refillable cartridges, they sit in the printer permanantly and you....refill them, bit like a CISS system but without the need for tubes and tanks.

As for ink, I can recommend Permajet, their papers are quite nice too. Can't say much about their CISS system as the one on my R1400 is a PITA and needs constant fiddling to keep running, keep threatening to bin it and buy refillable cartridges
