Welcome to RAPBlog

We've all got ideas and opinions. Some are best kept under lock and key, others can be shared. We're not arrogant enough to claim to be right all of the time (and we don't profess to be wordsmiths), but if we stimulate interest, debate or more ideas and opinions, that's good enough for us.

As ever, feedback welcome.

Enjoy.
