    Thumbs up Thank you, Terry.

    So, El Tel is going to retire from his editorship very soon.

    He's going to tell us more about his future plans in the next issue and say his farewells.

    But there is more than a hint in this month's text indicating that we won't be losing him altogether?

    Terry, a huge thank you from one of your biggest fans. You have done a brilliant job for a very long time delivering us a quality and varied read each month. You've assembled and keep motivating your writers to come up with such excellent stuff each month. And I've always enjoyed your writing style and the way you deliver to get the point across, fuelled by that passion and drive that is so obvious for all to see. You have informed, entertained and motivated this reader for a very long time.

    Thank you so much.

    And I hope we see you continuing contributing although retiring the captaincy.

    As above ... totally agree with everything TonyL has said.
    Now, as to the future: will we see a new venture set up? 'El Tel's designer label bespoke adjustable cheek pieces and butt pads'?

    Seriously though .. thank you for great service.
    Cheers, Phil

    Terry hasn't been on the forum for over a year Tony. If you want to express your thanks, you may be better emailing him.

    PS, I've heard a whisper, he's retiring to be a swimwear model for the saga catalogue.

    Thank you, Dave. I've done so. I hadn't realised that he hadn't been on here for so long.

    Hi Guys ,on buying the latest copy of Mr T Does, finest work, I find
    it has new owners, ,I would advise them not to change it to much as its great in its
    current format, to many changes would lose my readership and I have been buying these magazines
    for years, so new editor take heed!!

    Agreed Brian. I look forward to, and enjoy, my monthly fix of the expertly put together read each month. And its sister publication also improved by leaps and bounds a few years ago under Terry's watchful eye.

    Fingers crossed that although Terry may be retiring as the Editor, we'll still see input from him and that the new owners take advice and direction from him.

    Sad to see this Ed hanging up his boots, he and Dave have helped putting KP on the map. As soon as Dave takes over the reins, I am taking away his fishing rods

    Anyways, he's still got that book to write...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
