Thanks for all the responses. I guess the poll is as expected really, but I was surprised by some quite helpfull posts. For those of you saying, if ur asking give up its simple etc...it isn't that simple. I have a lot more than just trials going on in my life, unlike some! Hence the thread. The posts from the oldies here are of more relavance and I hadnt thought of having a break then coming back to it in my thirties, but I think thats what I might do. I've really enjoyed getting into trials but its time to move on. On that bombshell, Im off so thanks for coming
