Thanks for this feedback, it is much appreciated. I was pretty sure that this would be a good thing, and certainly wanted to get in on the ground floor, this just confirms it.

Glad to have you join us!
Enjoyed your story about how you got into radio. It's also interesting to note the differences in our idioms - "motor trade" vs. "the car business" or "adverts" vs. "commercials," for instance. Your enthusiasm brought a smile to my face!
