Congratulations David,
You have now brought webusers to click on your contributions more than 2,000,000 times at GLOBOsapiens! This comes certainly from your well written reports and comments for which Google finds no other better source? I hope reach my first million only around mid-January.

Thanks Kenneth/David. I don't know what the idea of having two names might be if everybody is going to tell everybody what they are really called. Sounds a bit daft.
Yes, I came from Tod in the days of the dark satanic mills. I was called up for National Service and thus was released from my torpor. Never went back except to visit friends. At this stage they are beginning to drop of't pee-uck (perch).
I always write a report of our travels. When I tried to stick one on the site they limited me to 2,000 characters. Hell, I use more exclamation marks than that! It cut my account off and I hadn't got to the airport yet! I don't know whether there is a future here or not.

Toddy is my elder brother, David, now living in Alberta, Ca. He is also a native of Todmorden and knows much more than myself since he is older and knows how to tear his best suit climbing trees, but that was quite some time ago.

Phew! It took some time to work out how to reply to you, David. I started out life in Burnley Road in the Ferneylee Road area. Later, we moved up by the Unitarian Church in full view of Dobroyd Castle, appropriately known as Castle View and later still to Portsmouth. When the Unitarian Church weathercock faces up the ‘Shoebroad’ it is time to batten down the storm hatches. It was on my marriage that I left Todmorden and moved to Hapton where I have lived most of my life now. The natives are fierce but if one doesn't mention Yorkshire it is a fairly safe place to live. It was only after I left Todmorden that I really appreciated the beauty that I had left behind and the wealth of walks in all directions. Judging from the pictures at Todchat, Stoodley Pike seems very popular with the photographers. It is best when one meets a sheep halfway up the dark staircase. I am not sure who is the most frightened, humans or sheep.
Regards,
Kevin

David,
Thanks for reading my Prague report. It is difficult to say something about such a well-known and much visited city. Once we had seen Charles bridge and the centre of the Old town we did not come back there, too crowded.
It is 1 year today that I have joined Globosapiens, many thanks again for giving me this opportunity. It is such a great site!
I am going home to France on Wednesday, for 2 weeks, I can t wait!.
Take care
Isabelle

Thanks for signing my guestbook and for the warm welcome. It has been a while since my last activity here and there is so much catching up to do and so little time. I hope to contribute a little bit more in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
