Not quite, but pushed hard, with other groups, to get their status changed

They, swifts included, are living in happy harmony, thanks to all.  The boxes are up but and occupied but no web cams - maybe that's next  ::)

Must be crossed wires, Mark, don't worry - we'll move on swiftly!  Looking forward to more of your posts and catching up with your Swifts.

And on the very day that the forum shuts down forever due to SRGC spending cuts! That's just rotten luck, Mark.   :(    (Did you miss the announcement when you were offline?)

You've got until 6pm. See you at the farewell party (bring a bottle, and fancy dress is compulsory).

Welcome back Mark.  Don't listen to Martin, he's already brought his own bottle (and consumed it) by the sound of it.  ;)  Er... unless I missed the announcement too!  :o
