"Dear David - it was a joy to read Issue 1 and be reminded of so many things. I was on a Chart Seminar around 1986 maybe (at the Piccadilly Hotel?) and remember claiming an Umbrella but losing it on some train soon after! I recall that I was self-employed and could scarce afford the course fee but something told me that I had to know more about technical analysis - never regretted that hunch.

I hope you'll be writing for quite a bit longer. Ridiculous to say, I'm not currently a subscriber. I think the sub expired in April when I was knee deep in other things but shall be renewing shortly. Here we are in the winter months (NZ) when there is more inclination to get reading."

David Fuller's view Thank you so much for this lovely email. Yes, that would have been the Piccadilly Hotel, later to become the Meridian Piccadilly, and only a block from our office on Swallow Street in those days. TCS continues to evolve and thrive under Eoin's tutelage, as does the distinctive brolly.

I hope to be writing and recording for quite a bit longer, inspired by veteran subscribers such as you.
