    Thanks, but I think I'll pass. Although it did have a quite nice Indian restaurant that used to be a church. Probably still there. And sometimes we'd go through it on the way to biker meets at Rivington Barn.

    Didn't know Adlington was world-famous in Wrexham too.

    I think we all walk into the next room and wonder why we came? I’ve done that my whole life. But it’s not so much bad memory, as just the fact our minds are on a deeper plain. We are too busy contemplating which stylus tracks the groove walls more like a cutter head, or if a certain length cable will reduce jitter to be bothered with every day notions. Personally I hate to loose things, I will go nuts trying to find it, I do believe that items slip off into another dimension, and return later, sometimes.

    I Think you're absolutely right there, Russell.

    I lost my marbles some time ago, but as with most things, they'll turn up when I'm looking for something else.

    I can't remember the last time I went into a room and forgot what I was going in for. I'm not sure if this is a problem.

    So did you not do it? Or just can’t remember doing it? Hum?

    I wonder if that trend will ever reverse and I'll one day walk into a church that used to be an Indian restaurant? Or a pub that used to be a mosque?

    Well I think all of us must have put the yogurt pot in the sink and the teaspoon in the bin at least once?
