I would say the common room but I think the photo restoration and the free webspace are generating some interesting debates and beautiful photos.

By country boards, are you including county boards too?

My favorite thing to do is to read the "Recent Unread Topics."  ;D

Yes BD - country and county boards are as one

Should have put in an option for all of it - but probably would have had 100% for that one and nothing for the rest lol

Ashamed to say I have never ventured into the chatroom as yet but I have promised myself a visit soon.

I check out my 3 main boards of interest first, closely followed by the Common Room and Lighter Side. Its nice though to have the time some evenings to wander round boards I dont normally visit. Amazing what you learn.

In that case I have voted for Country and Common Room /Lighter side, although I do always read the Free Webspace & Technical forums as well.

Its amazing what you find Kerry when you have a good look round the site. I am very guilty of sticking to the same boards but its worth having a look at other stuff as well.
