Missing members

I just looked at a Bluey pic and Farmer John had posted on it originally, back in 2019. It was only then that I realized his absence- last activity was quite some time ago.

Also, Philthechill - I knew that he had some health issues, but he also fell off the radar some time back. Phil actually helped me professionally when I was looking at a hotel air chiller - He was dead right and accurate in the cause for failure. He made me look good!

I know that I have started such threads before but cannot be bothered to trawl through the lists to find them.

Rgds.

One of the best posters on "another site".
I remember his valedictory post which i read with regret.
Some former SN members may not be aware that Phil was awarded a medal for his actions in saving the
life of someone who had fallen between the ship and quayside in Glasgow(?)...... Into freezing dock water.
I mentioned it to him once in a post.....he just dismissed it as unimportant.

People like him always do..... don't they?

kauvaka,

I had a look on the web, when I try the address you have given it comes up with - World Press - and to write a blog. Further down I found this
GTZX Homehttps://gtzx.org.uk › ...
Welcome to the GTZX web site. Problems, problems: The End of GTZX.org.uk? 29th September 2022. Over the past few months I have been trying to resolve .... Of course when you try to read more it comes up with the World Press. So I suggest there are major problems. Maybe one of your fellow ex BP members can help.

Neville

The incident occurred in Greenock and I have a report from the Greenock Telegraph somewhere.
