Rob it was probably just a glitch let's hear from you and Beth

Hi Rob, good to see you back again and all the best for the New Year.

I remember noticing a while back that for a time comments various people had posted, mostly you and Beth but also Scotty, and one of my own also (which I recall no details of), were being deleted seemingly at random. These included your half of a perfectly civil discussion we were having about clear umbrellas....with my answers untouched. Those posts still appear in sequence all around Oct 2014, blank except for the poster's name and the date. At the time I put it down to just a blip in the system, and with no better information now I suppose I still do. But it did seem odd.

Happy new year to all mac lovers

Hi in Australia most of us wore nylon raincoats in high school in the 1970s, they obviously didn't come from M&S although I think they were imported from England, they were bright colors, light and comfortable, and fairly hard-wearing as I remember. I've lately started wearing them again after many years relying on the 'good' coat and the brolly.

Susan the MS macs also had unique buttons I could always tell buy the buttons it was a MS mac I think other macs had there own as well.

I don't remember those nylon macs at all Janice. It's probably because I didn't start shopping there until the 1990s. I always bought Rainstar nylon macs from John Lewis. There was a branch of Fenwick's that I visited frequently. They sold traditional nylon macs with an extremely feminine style of button that was quite unique.
