What we ( the GAGB) are attempting to achieve

wrong log on -
I agree 100% with what kennamatic says here. It is because I agree that I have let Groundspeak know that I no longer wish to review caches or moderate the UK forum. In recent weeks I have, more and more, been instructed to do things I did not actually feel would benefit caching in the UK. I have been instructed, more and more, to do things that I could not actually see the point of. I have been instructed I felt – rightly or wrongly – to implement policies in reviewing or managing caches – that it seemed were not being made public. I tried to debate issues - but as much as GSP were not going to change philosophy, nor was I. Until recently I have felt totally backed by the GSP management team, though I have also felt that, rather than being evolutionary, and at times being prepared to "push the envelope" things had become more fundamental. I don't think this is the right way forward - I know that there are many UK cachers who feel it is, and it is this diversity of opinion that makes for lively debate - and goodness do we have that! I have had a great five years or so reviewing for the UK community and made many friends - I would not have changed it for the world. I have made many good friends, both on line and in the flesh at events - but the time has come to call it a day. I might even talk to my family again between the hours of 1600 and 1900 during the week and often VERY lengthy week end periods - especially if it has been a sunny Sunday! Many thanks to you all - it’s good night from me – and it’s good night from him. PS dodgydaved might now even find chance to visit a cache near you!

Now onto a more serious subject...............has anyone any idea where I can get a Guinness out here? .....just as a matter of interest look at the secon review "Best Romanian Beer. Great taste, perfect dark colour, strong as a mountain man Almost same quality as Guiness or Kilkenny, but at a Romanian price. A beer to have in your refrigerator "

Heck no! I just read Pharisee's answer and - literally - started humming..........mnemic residue of long lost musical experience - a very deep voiced bloke I seem to remember - perhaps the same one who made a famous recording of "Ol Man River" - can't recall his name. If TLHM are no about give it to John! -

Hi Bob, I have replied to the email you sent me, twice, and each time the message bounced. Is it possible there is a problem with incoming mails on you geocaching mail address? Cheers, Eckington
-
That surprises me as we have all 3 been actively reviewing over the last few days at least. Who did you mail? Are you sure they got your mail? Mail me through my profile - or try eckingtons31ATtescoDOTnet - I reviewed the caches originally! E

Hi, and well done on the permission, great news. The GLAD database is indeed the right place for the information - and I am sure you will get read/posting rights within 24 hours or so. In the mean time I am referring this post to a member of the GAGB committee who will no doubt find some way to expedite things.

I think the "Levant" is a poetic name given to a chunk of the mid east around Lebanon, Syria and Israel ish. I guess a Levanter and a Leste are winds blowing across this region from the far east.........
