Sorry to hear of Gerrys passing - I live local and dealt with him on multiple times and helped move some pieces on for him in recent times - lovely old boy with many a story to tell and always good for a bargain

RIP pal

Rest in eternal peace my old friend.
I missed his passing as I was in France fishing where Gerry and I spent quality time together over the years.
A great bloke and funny as fook.

RIP Gerry.
The forum will be a different place without your input.

such a shame, he saved everyone on this forum money at some point

Surely the bargains share the knowledge thread should be named after him now.

I spent some time last night creating the 'Linky Poo' code to help people put links into their posts.

If you are on a PC you will need to do Control-F5 to force a refresh of the cache (otherwise the old weblink code will still be used)

Once done, if you wanted to link to something you enter the web address
e.g.
http://www.ford.com

Then completely select the web address and hit the >> button to the left where it says Web Link.

This should then take your web address, make it into a link, and prefix the link with LINKY POO™
e.g.
LINKY POO™ http://www.ford.com

I need to do more work on it to neaten it up (and no doubt there will be exceptions where it doesn't work and I need to debug it).
I also need to put in a word or two about Gerry somewhere to remind us where the LINKY POO term came from

I've only just seen this, I don't tend to look at the top of the pages.

The Forum won't be the same without Gerry, a very sad loss. Hopefully he's by the side of a lake somewhere doing what he loved the most.

Hi All

God seems to be hoarding all the good ones at the moment...

Rip Gerry, I learnt a lot from you over the years

Best

I just saw this, very sad news. He was a very active and helpful member for many, many years, legendary for his 'Linky Poos. ' He will be sadly missed by this forum for sure.
See you on the other side fella. x

The wife and I were just talking about our blow up tent that we bought from Gerry .
Whilst erecting the tent for the first time we found a crusty old pair of knickers in a side pocket .
I was never sure if they were worn by Gerry or one of his lady friends .
He never wanted them posted back,
One of a few purchases from Gerry .👍👍
Are you sure?
