Hi folks, I'm Chris from Oxford, England and if you imagine a man with close cropped hair and a beard talking in a flat monotone about rather odd stage lighting fixtures or electric vehicles or small British machine tools of the early post war years, or military technology up to 1945 or Atari computers then you have a good idea of what I'm like......

acknowledges your presence with a sideways chin jerk.

(... then guffaws inappropiately with delight over having followed the greeting rules so well)

Hi Chris.

I'm not a million miles from Oxford and am quite happy to talk about stage lighting fixtures, photography and Pink Floyd.

Hello Chriscross 1966,
Welcome! I live across the pond in America, (what's left of it anyway.) Were you born in 1966? I was, hence Hip66. If yes, then we're peers. Nice to meet ya.
