Hi there
Calling all UK modellers... :-)
Just in case you don't know, we've got our own Site! :-)
http://groups.msn.com/Armoramauk I know it's tempting to head straight for the Armorama Homepage, but Jim went to a lot of trouble to set this up for us, so let's show our appreciation in the best possible way and make it our first port of call to check out UK news.
All the best

I LOVE that T Shirt, British Tanks RULE!. Can only a Half Brit get one? If I buy one will proceeds from the sale go to Jim? My wife objects to the Date with a Hot Model one. Can't understand why.

My hope is that this site will be seen by MSN users in the UK and that will lead them here. So keeping it fresh with info and events would be great.
To this end I have drafted Rowan as an Asst. Manager for that site. He can now build pages and do all the stuff I can do there (minus deleting the group).

Rowan....get busy. Lol

Hi there
Well it wasn't a joke... I've got a bunch of new buttons to master on my UK page...
OK Jim :-)
My first "Policy Statement" as Asst. Manager (i.e. "runner") is:
The Armorama UK link should appear on the Armorama Homepage - no matter what someone's "Focus" is... I'm using the "Aircraft Focus" and it doesn't appear...
All the best

Well I'm still waiting to see traffic on Armorama.Uk.. Although i'm still technically a brit, albeit with twin passports, I would like to see the site achieve the success it deserves...Why are people still not logging-on to what could be one of the most comfortable chat-rooms on the site? (++) Jim

i logged in to the chat a few times, but no one else seems to use it,
what times do you other brit users log into it?
i usually use it in any time between 7-12pm
