I see you are having problems with PM's according to this thread https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Discussions-and-Feedback/Private-Message-problem/m-p/1288537#M112631 

As you are saying here that you have received mine and @gmarkj's PM's.... are you unable to open them then?

Thank you @Cleoriff and @gmarkj

Yes I was having problems receiving pms [inc the one from @gmarkj  "disappearing"].

I am pleased to say I have now received pms with from both of you.

If others now want to pm me their answers - or during the day - then there shouldn`t be a problem...

Looking forward to hearing from the "regulars" and any new members or those who have not played before...
