The great thing about having a You Tube channel-in-waiting is that, when the powers-that-be decide to close your channel, you don’t lose contact with dearly valued YT friends, old and new.

You can always start a new channel and begin again but you can’t replace these friendships you’ve developed, often over a number of years.

New channel is under the name JohnMAReed and the URL is:

youtube.com/user/JohnMAReed

You can go to the new channel from this channel by going to the ‘Featured Channels’ section of the John Hall homepage – this is at the top right corner, as you'll see in the image in the video.

You will see that there is one featured channel – ‘John Reed’.

Clicking on the name ‘John Reed’ takes you to the new channel-in-waiting and you can subscribe so we don’t loose touch.

By the way, you’ll be aware that my name seems to be endlessly morphing itself – from ‘Nick’ to ‘John’ and now to ‘John 2’.

My real name is Alex so please feel free to use Alex – and of course I’ll more than happily respond for all other noms de plume.

Hope you subscribe to the new channel if you haven’t already.

Cheers!
