Fantastic Ray, sorry I never got time to pop in, we were pushed for time, but I look forward to meeting you in April.

The day was amazing, the meal, the company the drinks, rubbing shoulders with Sir this, and Sir that, MBE's OBE's Lord Mayors of London ex Lord Mayors etc, all real good people.

I will post some pics, as I get them, here are a few.

Thanks Neale, and Ray for the comments, the day was unreal my youngest son David was with me and he was my rock, I found all the people there so genuine, be they a gold medal winner of a European bricklaying apprentice competition or a peer of the realm, I got on with them all as their passion and respect for tradesmen crossed any class or status divide.

I will post some more pics, (but will not bore you to death) I feel I have at least been a humble envoy of our noble craft, our trade will survive forever, a robot will never overcome what we do day to day.

Respect to all members.

So sorry for missing this @Phil Hobson
Had an awful lot going on last year or two with home life. And you haven't been on for a bit for me to notice your custom user title that I've now just spotted!

CONGRATULATIONS - about time you got the recognition you have deserved for decades from the country as a whole!
