Now who knows what would have happened if i did not mention the PGCA but the same thing happened at Purdey's. So yes the lifer level does have perks.
I'm guessing that if you'd left the word "life" out of that sentence you'd have been accorded the same courtesy.

I joined so I could read the restricted forums and receive Parker Pages. As someone who's lost in the Central Time Zone I'll probably never attend any of the functions nor get to know any of you fine folks personally, so to be perfectly frank the privilege of voting is not particularly important to me.
