9 LEE: Well, it appears BeoWorld is growing at roughly the rate of around 500 new registered members a month - and i'd guess that in about 2 weeks we will hit our 3,000th Member! I'd just like to say thank you to everyone that has registered since we launched, and i hope you all find time to post on the forums! And for all those vaguely interested

Well, what a disappointing response! Nobody offered to help with the decorating!! Anyway, a thousand thanks to you all as I'm now on the 'Gold Standard' again. Regarding the nonresponders, as Medogsfat(Chris) said, I must have a messaging problem. Hopefully, that will sort itself. If I press the wrong button on this message.............

Can anybody help please? In June I became a 'Gold f' member. Then, in July, noticed I'd been demoted to 'Bronze'. Haven't had an extra marital affair, taken drugs or whatever, so, why? Have sent emails or PM's to the 'Top Brass' of Beoworld. Lee replied within minutes(how does he do it?). Now he's away but suggested

Hah! just woken up & noticed you are going late October so the passes will be closed although the Brunig will remain open through the Winter. Super time of the year with the Autumn foliage & sparkling clear air John

Hi! Send me a PM if you want to know anything about the Bernese Oberland. We've been going to the same little village for 38 consecutive years with 'Old Timer' cars & know the area well. These days the Grimsel & Susten Passes will be open until well into September so you've plenty of time. Paradise & virtually crime free
