Thanks very much for the input peeps, very much appreciated, didn't know nowhere near this much, happy to learn though, I only know the usual 1 or 2 finger salute, seem to get these a lot, not seen this one in BSL though!!
Been really impressed with peeps on here, ace that you help others, must be a good feeling, my hearing is ok, apart from menierres in my left ear, affecting balance, and slight tone deafness@4000hz, the normal spot to loose first through high noise exposure so I was told, didn't know till I had a free hearing test in Norwich@ the hearing aid centre, was always at the firing range when younger 11-16 yo.
