Apologies

Very sorry everyone. As discussion leader I should have warned that sometimes I have no electricity or net. This happened last week. Have it back now, so just about to read and catch up with what's been happening.

Ah the delights of Gambia - at least 'getting electricity' shows reported improvement. Only worse than 126 other countries.

Robert - Thanks for that. Did not quite understand it all. But I know I've been with no net or electricity for days at a time. Also - some sites seem blocked here so can't read them
