I feel that 'I should clear the air'...
Good afternoon Jeni, I feel that 'I should clear the air' because it unsettles me to have bad feeling hanging around near me in Wikipediaworld. You should understand that I was only trying to 'lighten things' with my edit summary on the M48 motorway article here when I quoted Max Boyce's famous expression. Furthermore, I was, and still am, confused with this event. From that revision, I believed that Martin was in support of the removal. I know he must have told you that I asked him to confirm this by my e-mailing him, and I must add that he has not made a reply of any description. I mean no harm. I am fairly new to Wikipedia and still have a lot to learn from well-established editors such as yourself.

Last night I rewrote The Route section. Perhaps you would like to comment on my copy-edit. I particularly appreciated your adding this ref. – Sincerely, -- Gareth Griffith-Jones / The Welsh Buzzard 12:31, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Post script: On going through the recent history of my Talk page, I have seen for the first time the posts that you made on 28 November. It would appear that this addition by a child, User:Historygurl12345, caused the deletion Hence the mix-up with your reading [Please read this! –&#32; Gareth Griffith-Jones / The Welsh Buzzard 11:24, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

I also value your replying to me yesterday regarding the A41/A1 in London. Cheers! –&#32; Gareth Griffith-Jones / The Welsh Buzzard 19:34, 5 December 2012 (UTC) Ha, ha! This Wikipediaworld is a great deal better for me today, since reading your reply. I replied to Ritchie on his Talk page yesterday and copied it here (above) for you to comment on, if you would be so kind. –&#32; –&#32;Gareth Griffith-Jones / The Welsh Buzzard 11:11, 6 December 2012 (UTC) –&#32;Gareth Griffith-Jones / The Welsh Buzzard 11:28, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I had hoped you could forgive a stupid old man and allow him to stop worrying about it.  –&#32; Gareth Griffith-Jones / The Welsh Buzzard 17:27, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * (talk page stalker) Jeni is offline. Some say she has a social life outside WP, but I'm suspicious. Anyway, I've had a look at your edit, and I can confirm that the M48 violates the standard motorway numbering rules as documented in National Archives File M112/67 ("Traffic signs on motorways and major roads proposed numbering of motorways") as authored by the Ministry of Transport, which I have camera copies of (somewhere). Per WP:SOURCEACCESS, this is acceptable, as all is required for verification is that a member of the public can access them, which you can if you can get to The National Archives (United Kingdom) in Kew and have suitable identification. Hope that's of use. -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   19:12, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Your reply is more than just helpful. Thank you.
 * I'm here... just! Just nowhere near as active as I used to be! You have nothing to worry about Gareth, sometimes disagreements happen on this wonderful world that we call Wikipedia!
 * Ritchie, how dare you suggest that I have a life ;-) I lost it somewhere, I think I left it on a train to Paignton the other day! Jeni  ( talk ) 10:06, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Good morning Jeni,
 * Post script: this is a great improvement. –&#32;

Merry Christmas!
