I delete everything now that I don't recognise after my last bad virus which wrecked my computer completely! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

There are a whole load of b......s out there who take great pleasure in stuffing up peoples lives for no reason at all, other than that is to gloat or as the email warned rob you, be it information, or hard earned cash from your bank account! So I for one am grateful to you for going to the trouble that you did and thank you. Next time it might be for real, so don't hesitate to do the same again just because it was a hoax this time. Thanks again Andy from us all. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I don't usually download any attachments unless I know who they are from. :) My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
