Welcome to the eleventh edition of

The Journal

The more astute of you will notice that there is a preponderance of articles written by those of the plumbing trade in this issue [as there was in the last issue]. I make no apology for this, it is that trade that has contributed the majority of articles and I publish all articles that are submitted.

There may be historic reasons why armourers are more likely to put pen to paper or digit to keyboard (better education; higher intelligence; more interesting lives?)

I, of course, do not subscribe to any of those presumptions. Mike
