Hi!

The service outlived it's usefulness here, though I attended a meeting here
on Monday that failed to convince me, that Escooters were a more economical
form of transport than cabs, *lol*

No problem with what these folks are doing. I'll try to get myself off this
list.

Cheers,
Dave

Dave,


There aren't always opportunities offered to other countries sadly.


Thank you Suman for sharing the article.
