Hi James,

I really hope you can get in touch with Peter but I would suggest that you remove your phone number as this is not a secure site and it will be all over the web in minutes !!!

There are many strange people out there who could take advantage and abuse it.

You can send it to Peter in a private message - just click on his name above and send a message which he will be notified of if he still has the same e-mail address.

It is also against the T & C of the site to display 'phone numbers and so if you leave it there there is a good chance that your post will be deleted by GR and he won't see it at all.

Best of luck,

Dea x

Chances are too James that Peter isn't a member now as he posted in 2008 so he won't see your reponse anyway

As Dea has posted, send him a message and hope his email hasn't changed so he will receive it
