Thanks Chalky. On another topic does anyone know the date of the RSA AGM weekend and if it s being held in the VSC London. I did email the RSA HQ Blandford three weeks ago which they ve not replied.

Hey Phil Pearce I ve been aving a shufty at your weblink namely the Phil Pearce Site and interesting it is too. Some good photos as well. You didn t need to identify yourself on the Dartmoor photo though. That alternative and better route you showed me in reaching Southmead hospital I used it every time getting to the limb centre. All change now though the limb service has relocated to the old royal mail centre Patchway top end of Cribbs Causeway. I hope you re keeping well. Cheers CJ

CHRIS The formula is pi. r2 .This gives you the circumference of the circle.

Re. Beret sizes-Jock there are several charts available on-line to work out your hat size. This is just one of them http://www.lockhatters.co.uk/sizing/ Regards Keith.

Sorry-that should read Joe. It s an age thing ha ha ha.

Phil Sorry about this inconvenience but can you confirm that you have received my payment thru Paypal pse. Paypal may have sent it to someone else Tks Les

For Joe Kelly: Giving your beret sizing query more thought I seem to remember the rule of Pye was used; the shortened term after the Greek philosopher & mathematician Pythagoras. I ve forgotten the actual formula used but it s the measure in circumference divided by a third and something. Perhaps this will jog someone s noddle box. Hope it helps.

Good evening folks looking for a bit of info how do I measure my head to get the correct beret size. serious comments only.

Hi Joe Re your beret sizing. I know what you mean but it s a lot easier today in metric measure than the old imperial sizing. Take a dress maker s fabric ruler and just measure the whole circumference of your head. I have a beret and it s size 62cm. In the old days that would have been 7.5. Somehow I am suspecting this isn t helpful but it s the best I can do.
