Thanks for all you've done for WMUK, Stevie. I will miss your cheerful greetings every time I step into the office.
I wish you all the best for the future, but hope we'll get a chance to get together some time - in fact, if you do find yourself with a bit of free time, we could make that video of a training session that we always promised, but never found the time to do!
