Just need to hang in there a little bit longer Mike, I'm confident things will start to get better. And as soon as humanly (and legally) possible, get out and about in your van. Don't know your family/friends circumstances, but if you find yourself oop north at any point there's a welcome for you here. We might even cook you somethingbut don't let that put you off
