Couple of guys I talk to are oop north so a cup of tea and a chat is a bit of a trek lol obviously I know we can’t do it at the min but just wondered,

    I used to be on a t6 forum and there was a members section with a map with dots you can click on the dots and it’s a member and the town they live in, was a good idea and probably really surprising how close there are other members....

    Sorry to barge in on a completely different subject.
    You live in Portsmouth, don't you?
    I've visited a few times and everyone has been good.
    I wonder if all the people from those days are still alive and well?
    For example, did How Kang KOI close its doors many years ago?

    Apologies too for barging into this conversation, but you mentioned How Kang Koi just as I was searching them online as I live less than a mile from St. Margaret's Lane Fareham where they were based... such a huge shame as I'm looking for a local Koi etc. supplier as it pains me to pay anything from £20 to £30 delivery charge when I buy fish. There is still a nursery there so I may pop in just to confirm they are gone (Facebook page says Closed Permanently).

    Thank you for taking the time to report this. While I was away from the KOI industry, there were problems with KHV and I heard that many of the people from that time have gone out of business. So the only people I know are Tim from Quality KOI and KEITH from KOI WATERBARN who used to be with KENT KOI KO. The biggest problem may be that I'm too old. In Portsmouth, the hobbyists were also very kind. A couple who worked in the aviation industry on toilet units and equipment invited me to their home. But they are probably over 70 years old now.
