Hi All,

Welcome to the forum. If you run into any problems, ask away. Usually someone around to try and give a hand. Arne.

Welcome to WMT! Lot's of good info and good people here. I think @RevA is from South Africa also. Maybe you two are neighbors. Good luck on your new obsession.

Not calling you out, Craig, but your comment made me curious, and I found the result quite interesting and surprising. Here is how South Africa compares in size to things you are familiar with:

Paul, thanks for the enlightenment. My perception was that SA was about the size of one of our mid-sized states.

Thanks for helping educate me, I need it on a daily basis (maybe hourly).

Nice, near enough to make kits worth while. Or to order a juice bucket from the cape.
