Thanks for the messages of congratulations, everyone. I enjoy this forum very much, because you all love all different kinds of music. Thanks for being so accepting of an opinionated American!

Hilary - politics isn't my cup of tea!

Also - I don't know where Mike's message regarding the Euro was, but I have to weigh in on this. I do not want the Euro as the currency of the UK. Everything is too expensive in Euros. I want to continue getting great deals paying in pounds. I can find better deals on hotels in the UK and Channel Islands than just about anywhere (except perhaps for South America). And the prices for food, and other miscelleneous items are so cheap in the UK. Even the theatre and concert prices are cheaper than the US. I don't want the prices to be in Euros.

Regarding the Netherlands: I recently spent a day in Rotterdam. The people were nice and the windmills fascinating, but everything was so expensive and none of the small shops wanted to accept credit cards. I can use credit cards everywhere in the UK.

Regarding Mike's employer John Lewis -- I love to browse the John Lewis stores. It's like walking through a museum. The merchandising is superb. But I can't afford anything but a cup of coffee. I'm strictly a Bhs and M&S guy.

Many thanks Robert

I'm slowly speeding up!

May I also wish Paul very belated congrats for when he reached 300, a long long time ago, I guess I missed him out then,

Sorry Paul, but I did note the 400 mark.

This always happens--I go away for a few days and someome crashes through another barrier

--this time it's my namesake, Marian. You just flew with your last 100 postings--it was so good to meet up with you at the fan club meeting. And keep your lovely postings coming--you help keep this forum such a fun place!

Marian · Post by **Marian** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 10:14 am

Still have a headache Marian, from crashing through that barrier!!!!

Anyway, thank you for your congratulations, and thankyou too Jon. You'll soon get there I'm sure.

I really enjoyed meeting everyone (as did Peter) at the Fans Reunited day, it felt just like meeting up with old friends.....you are all super people on this forum... hopefully we will meet up with all those who couldn't make it next time.

Marian.

We would certainly miss you now Mike, so keep those entertaining posts coming, and congratulations on your fantastic memory of the pop world and show business and of course on reaching the 300 score.

Congratulations Mr. John Lewis on your 300th posting! I enjoy almost all of your postings on music (I say almost because I can do without Westlife and Village People

) and all of your postings on retail.
