    Hi Folks from me, John, pretty much in the centre of the U.K.

    Aged a "young at heart" 63, into the great outdoors, VW camper vans. I am a retired electronics and computer engineer (mostly using and recommending the Linux OS these days).

    Currently own a pretty tidy 72 246B that I use very often.

    I look forward to typing with you all, starting with posts elsewhere about fuels and the varying quality of spare parts.

    G'day John and welcome to CPL.
    I'm sure something can do something about your lonely 246B. :lol:;)

    Thanks for the welcomes already folks :)

    @ Robbo, tisn't always lonely, when I go camping, my mate brings his Bialaddin to keep the Tilley company, but I know what you mean, I do fancy a lil titchy lamp, if there is such a thing.

    Can anyone tell me why I can't figure out how to add an avatar to my profile?
    I get "The following error occurred:
    You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action"
    when I click on where a picture could go.

    Well, I thought the true centre of the UK was Hexham - but I guess it all depends where you measure between. I'm not sure where the question of the capital of England came from but surely, it's 'E'...

    The true capital was just pure BS.
