COMMENTS

A quick blog before my main blog of the day to say thanks to those who have contributed comments in the past. Oddly on this version of WordPress one doesn’t seem to be able to display comments on the main page – only to approve them so that they can be expanded if one clicks on the tiny ‘view comment’ sign.

As to the sanity of any of us, Bernard Shaw remarked that improvement is only achieved by the unreasonable man as the reasonable man adjusts to things as they are…..”
