UKCS member Francais is a regular contributor to these boards but hasn't posted since 12/07. Does anyone on here know him? I hope everything is okay.

He was due to go back to work, but mind you they kept on moving the start back date.

It never stopped him from posting though.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?

Precisely. Over three months without a word isn't like him. Sending him best wishes.

His wife had lost her job at Morrisons, through a very unfair decision.

This thread gives me hope. In this predominantly selfish world we live in there are clearly people who care, and they are on this website. We may not always agree with each other, but there is always someone on here who will help if we have problems, and this thread shows that people care on a personal level too. Long may it continue.

In an ever more self indulgent heartless world, it is indeed refreshing to see concern being expressed, but on the other hand, would you expect anything less from 'old school' camping community where helping and looking out for each other is pretty much a way of life.

Hoping Francais is well but just otherwise occupied accounting for his absence here.

I expect his computers playing up and knowing how much he hates modern tech I expect he's given up. Press 'Mute' Francais.
