Thanks for all the replies, I would just like to say I was trying to inform people of the poor bugger that lost his van and maybe some one new him.
As for the lack of spelling and grammar I am sorry to a fend people, I have struggled with this all my live and still at 51 do not understand all the different words that for some reason mean the same.
My wife suggested some time ago I join forums like this to increase my understanding of suck meanings. And I have to say when I first started I could barely write a sentence without an error but have come ahead in leaps and bounds.
So am am asking people that next time someone makes a mistake, a kind word would be appreciated to point out a mistake. A sarcastic word will only make a learning difficulty more harder to except and in the end if we were all perfect it would be indeed a dull world.
cheers Shane.

Hi Shane, some spelling and grammar, especially from the
young, leaves a lot to be desired and it is obvious that some do not try to improve.
I take my hat off to you for striving to improve. Keep it up mate and do not be concerned if some seem to take offence at an occasional error.

I agree with Alan,
Keep it up Shane, at least you're having a go an you're not being offensive - anyway readers get the drift of what your saying away.
Some people just show no tolerance or patience.
cheers

Hi Shane,
It takes a big man to admit to a prob and an even bigger one to do it with class.
My old man couldnt read or write very
well but he end up running his own company.
Not doing
well at school doesnt mean your not smart.
Cheers Wilko

Thanks to all for your encouragement. I just wanted to point out some people take it for granted that they are fortunate to be able to remember how to spell but there is a lot of people that have a hard time through no fault of there own.
a little thing like seeing no read lines after a sentence is more enjoyable than a beer.
cheers Shane.

Hi Chips,
Mate the only function of written language is communication. The rest is pedantry. Meaning overly fussy about rules etc for that written language.
If you have gotten your message across, which you do
well, then you have completed the task satisfactorily, at least for the rest of us normal folk.
Keep up the good work mate and ignore the boofheads.
Best regards, Bruce.
PS I am a lousy speller as
well.
