- Web Site Problems & Errors -
  I am not a competent computer man and Evening Classes and courses to enable self-employed craftsman like myself to gain Jack of All Trades IT knowledge are few and far between in Britain.
  To produce this Web site the best that I could find was a 12-week Wednesday morning course at a local council estate “Community & Enterprise Centre”. This was mainly aimed at the long term unemployed. So I will leave you to imagine the gulf between the course structure and my requirements.
  I know that I have made many mistakes designing this web site so please:
Watch Out For Errors & Omissions !
  If you find them I would be grateful if you told me so that I can correct them. If you are a computer expert and wished to make suggestions for improving the working of this site, particularly tidying up the HTML code, I would be most grateful. I used Dreamweaver 8 to build this site.
