I had been looking forward to meet our next and final arrival for some time. Peter was the first person to respond to my very first post on the old forum. His response was to offer me the loan of a Beolink 1000 and this very kind gesture has had a profound effect on the way I percieve Beoworlders. I am happy to lend things to people now whereas, two

You couldn't miss the arrival of the next two Beoworlders! Craig and Carol had come on their Triumph motorbike from Birmingham in torrential rain!

It was only five minutes in the rain to the shop. 55 King Street is a huge building that was once a colossal bank, Nat-West I think and it has been split into lots

And this is the view through the front door.

I opened the sash window to have a look out. Smashing view, a veritable pot-pourri of old and new buildings. The tall building in the background is The Arndale Center.
