Worth adding here that Mark's (aka NWest's) Role Demo piece is both his AI debut and a cracking read! Hopefully he won't be too embarrassed by this, but well done mate! :clap: :clap:

And there's more to come from him, when I can find a slot for another excellent piece he's done!

I've come to this late just having picked up this month's mag, but I'd just like to echo Paul's post. Well done Mark, flying the flag for UKAR with a smashing piece :clap:
