HI all

I just though I would pass on the very sad new that John's father the original owner of Mini kingdom has passed away earlier this week.
Our sympathies are with John and his family at this sad time.

Jemima is handling calls at Mini King please bear with her as she is just helping out as best she can.

That wouldn't seem strange at any age John!! Nothing wrong with having your old man as your hero!! 8)

Obviously never met the man, but I'm sure you take after him - and that would have to have made him an awesome bloke. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

It is getting close to the anniversary of My Dads passing and I was reading through these posts, And They are all very much appreciated, But this one always brings a tear to my eyes. Because He is an Awesome MAN and I still Miss Him very much

I probably should not have added this to the bottom of this thread, But I must admit I am not sure how to start a new thread and add a quote from another thread,
Sorry about That Simon :oops:
