This site isn't alone in lacking messages. My old school, West Bromwich Grammar, was thriving as a free Yahoo site, then it went 'closed' for members only at £10 a year and just the same old few (like me) post and others read only. I don't feel quite at home on this site, probably because I'm far too old at 74 to indulge in your 'mobile phone' style of posting. (I've used NEARLY £20 on my mobile in 2 years), even though I got along great with young people as a lecturer in Electronics. My interests are satellite TV carrying English football and I was lucky enough at the end of last season to find a local pub with Greek TV and French TV where they showed my team's away matches although Middlesborough v WBA left me looking pale and sickly. I wish you well and hope the postings improve.
