    Read the site mate, a lot were got rid of in the 1660's and of course in the 1990's. Its the daft sods that think they can improve themselves or impress others by buying a title and Walting it up as gentry and the traders who sell them that should be the focus of AN ALL OUT WAR AND FACE DESTRUCTION OF THEIR REPUTATIONS, oops sorry is that the time of course i'll take my tablets nursey.

    I know!! Time to weed out the remaining guff and get rid of that too. Starting with Earldoms and Dukedoms (or whatever bone name they have).

    Thank you, by jove. But those buttons don't appear to work either. Perhaps it's a problem at my end?
    It was like that when I got here.

    If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.

    I think you have to wet them then blow on them until they get stiff!

    Am busy at the moment looking after real folk in Diffs. I will email this chap in the next few days and share the story of James Shortt and hopefully get more engagement & traction from this Gentleman. He seems to be a good Egg and can share the News.

    To be honest I wasn't going to linger too long upon this thread, but for reasons I can't quite understand, I keep coming back for a peek, so to speak.

    Is that picture of a fine lady's frontage still here? Just asking like.
    If you are an ex-serviceman or woman who wants to network mutual commercial interests, you can PM me for an invite to join the new ARRSE Business Group.

    Is this a job advertisement for the "Post of Waltfinder General?" Or reading his letters?

    If so, may I recommend Killaloe Holiday for the former, and for giggles, I want to read the latter.
