Apology

Hello,

Just a quick apology to the group.

I just found this group yesterday and responded in a few threads. I have
just noticed that some of those threads are quite old. In fact I am
astounded to find that I am just now reading a thread from 2005. That is
astounding post retention.

Anyhow, just wanted to apologise if I've bumped some dead threads and also
to say that I am enjoying the information here. Keep up the good work,
folks.

Oh, and Happy St. David's Day! (I'm Welsh, now living in Canada).

Ciao.

Apology accepted.

I work in a Welsh community in the U.S. - slate mining area. Welcome to
North America.

As far as post retention, if you are working off of Google Groups, they
archive back to forever.

As Mork from Ork would say: "Grubb".

Well, that explains it. I was wondering how these appeared.

Anyway, Simon, in which bit of Canada are you. Am from Wales-East :-) and
have visited North America, incl. Toronto, a lot.

OT: Have you ever tried Penderyn Whisky? Discovered it in Tesco about 15
months ago...

Dori,

Hi!

Well, I'm originally from Swansea but lived in Newport for a while. During
that time I worked in Cardiff then Risca but travelled all over Gwent.

Now I live way out west in Alberta.

Haven't tried nor heard of Penderyn whisky. Is it a blend or a single malt?

Simon.

Welcome to Canada, Simon. My dad, now deceased, spent his retirement
years in Connah's Quay, Deeside. He had many great qualities and was
a true "MOPAR or no-car" kind of guy.

Cheers,
Paul

Single malt.

Worth a try for the rarity value, but I found I could get better Scotch for
same money or less.

Well, appreciate the welcome Paul, but I've been here 19 years so I probably
don't qualify as a "newbie" any longer.

Can't say I ever went to Connah's Quay. As a South Walian I was not
particularly welcome in the North...LOL
