    Gentlemen's Corner to close ?

    Heard a rumour that this section is to close down, as since GWB threw the towel in, nobody could admin/police this 'best section'

    Candidates are being screened at present.

    Given the age profile within this section the usual criteria don't apply.

    This gentleman is displays many of the traits that the successful candidate will possess.

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Oh no! Its not all those 'special photos' and 'rare acquisitions' that has made the management see 'gentleman's corner' in a bad light has it?

    Neither did I Sir, mainly due to lack of cash due to my dads early death and my mum being a wiidow and doing 3 jobs to make ends meet My very large collection have all been bought by myself in the last 30 plus years by hard graft. And yes this is undoubtably the best bit of the bbs by far, and long may it continue

    If this section closed I wouldnt bother posting much.
    Sounds like a good enough reason to me.

    I agree, although shouldn't really say as much, as that may be the incentive the powers that be need, to make Mr Binners April Fool, become a truism !!!
