This page is particularly intended as a service to regular visitors, to provide a summary of [and, of course, links to!] recent additions or significant changes to www.baykoman.com - the world's finest BAYKO website!!! I hope you find it helpful. Now an apology - I know there has been a recent outbreak of spelling mistakes whilst I was having eyesight problems. I believe I've now resolved the problem. |
If you have any items which you would like to see included on the site… |
|
Let me apologise, for various health reasons over [but not caused by] the covid era, I've been forced to neglect the site somewhat. Now things are 'less bad', I hope to be able to get back into the swing - in the mean time you may notice a few minor changes in appearance and presentation across the board, and other minor changes that have been possible with remote tinkering, the only avenue open to me for some time. |
