Meanwhile, what do we call you for short? "One more David" is kinda long....

My Grandfather used to say "I don't mind what you call me so long as you don't call me early".

I bounce up, panting happily, in response to either Dave or David...so if Dave suits, that's fine with me! Just don't put an 'I' in it - no diphthongs, a pure vowel sound please!

I just got back from a few days in Spalding in Lincolnshire. There's nothing to break the east wind between you and the Urals up there...very bracing.
