Many apologies #bob# if I have caused offence.

I genuinely thought that was a picture of Ray Mears (not being a big fan of his I couldn't really tell the difference). I did, indeed, say what I meant and did, indeed, mean what I said. I just got it wrong and put my foot in it big time. Again, my apologies. I understood all along that you were a wind-up-merchant but was trying to make the point that I think it devalues the forum - a personal opinion admittedly but I'm being honest.

I've been competing in, organising or helping to organise fell races for over 20 years so many people on here already know that I am Keith Parkinson of Todmorden Harriers. (My forum name is parky, I sign off as Keith and list my location as Todmorden so it is pretty obvious). So, if you said something about me you would be talking about a real individual and not a possibly parallel identity - or whatever. Next time you turn up to a Tod Harriers race I'll buy you a pint - but only if you tell me your real name (or would that remove your magical powers?).

Best wishes,

KEITH
