All the best for 2010 from me as well.

 

Thanks to all who have provided me with advice within the Shetlink forum in 2009. My wife and I moved to these beautiful islands in April 2008 and we have been assisted in our settling in by the friendliness shown by the wonderful folks here.

Pausing only to get my pedant's hat back on

 

 

Wikipedia[/url]"]Year zero is not used in the widely used Gregorian calendar, nor in its predecessor, the Julian calendar. Under those systems, the year 1 BC is followed by AD 1.

 

The system of naming years as AD or BC dates from 525 AD. The concept of Zero as a number was not used in the West until the thirteeth century.
