Hi Sophie & welcome from West Scotland
I agree with what Ina & Robert are saying here - it's very clear you are a young woman & though the majority of us TASers are friendly folk, we have had a few unwelcome postings going on & as with any forum, we get lots of guests lurking about too.
To send a PM click on the persons name on the left of their post - this will take you into their profile - then there is a wee menu under their name & avatar (if they use one) - this will give you an option of sending a PM (personal message) which then goes through their email address, without it being made public.
Good to see another vet on here

Are you coming to the SS&GF in Forfar at the end of the month?
