Howzit Man,
Welcome from northern Scotland.
I spent 5 weeks in SA earlier this year, my Total Amiga magazine travelled with me from Jo'burg to CapeTown

)
I must say I far prefer your winters to our pathetic excuse for a summer ! For once I was actually able to wear that infamous Amiga T-shirt.
Some wonderful dark skies too - and without the cold

)
I think the only downside to SA was the mother in law ;-)
Bill.
