Nash Ultralite for me as well, my other chairs give me a bad back if I’m using them for a long session I even sold on one of those slightly ridiculous Solar armchair things because it was worse for my back

👍 well worth it

Hi Roger There's a close season at Walthamstow at the moment for Reservoirs 1 and 2/3, but not the High and Low Manards and the other big one I forget the name of. They're across the rod from the office. The hours arent great - its 7 am- 7.30 pm until early May when it goes to 7 - 10 until...

Where are you Rob?

Maybe so but I think the maxim “politics is the art of the possible” is really relevant and important here, otherwise we risk wasting our energies.

Happy New Year to you Andy, and everyone else who contributes to this great website. Thanks for giving us BFW for another year
