Cool mate. I'm on Surrey and SES. But Surrey I was on about.
If you have Hotmail.com or Hotmail.co.uk it won't take it for some reason. There was a recent spout of spammers hitting the site so sign up for new members has been a issue of late. Will have a word with admin if you like?
Where abouts in Surrey are you mate?
