Moderator Avatar change?

[StephenO]

It must be disheartening for ff to have had the car stolen, but personally, I would not like to drive an old-style Mini - too dangerous in a crash.

Heatbreaking rather than disheartening, I'd say. My 1991 Mini Cooper is rusting away quite happily in the garage having survived two small crashes and one quite large one during the 17 years I drove her (yes, she's a girl). I can't imagine how I'd feel if anyone stole her.

Hope you get Paul back soon, ff.

Edit: I'll just pretend I didn't see those other comments

What, even mine?!!

EA, you've changed your Avatar too?

Is it an expression of solidarity with ff, or are you trying to inject a bit of Comic Relief into a sad situation?

I've only changed it until Saturday, after which the Matterhorn will return. (Did anyone notice when I changed it to Roseberry Topping in the North York Moors?)

The Turk has returned!! Does that mean Paul is safely back unharmed?

I'm afraid not. The police rang to say they'd closed the file - no further leads to follow up

I was finding the new avatar a bit ... blue ...

Sorry ff

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I'm sorry too. I'm amazed and disturbed to hear the police had closed the file already. When I saw the Turk had returned, I was hoping it meant better news.

They rang me after 24 hours to say the file had been closed. But if any new information turned up they would open it again
