Apologies to those TNF members who are on my e-mail contacts list.
Someone has broken into my email and stolen all my contacts. They are working through the list sending out the usual alarmist e-mails saying that I have been mugged successively this week in the Ukraine, Manila and now Syria. A message to my e-mail address receives a reply from a G-Mail address saying "Yes this really is me". Please do not respond to these messages, delete them and scan your computer.
I am at home in Surrey and have no intention of leaving for a while.
