    DFW washing away?

    It was pretty bad in UK 3 days ago too. We had the worst ever recorded rainfall in certain parts of England. There are lakes now where open fields were, towns and cities have become like Venice, and all surface transport cars, train, buses, were halted in parts of Yorkshire and the Midlands. Up...

    Fitting matters

    I would certainly agree with that Undertow. Often wonder if the salespersons suit has been purchased from their own establishment, or from a better one, just to let you think they are selling really top quality merchandise. Matt D - Great information there, and thanks for drawing our...
