Did you get this sorted Campbell?? If not, Wendy is off to Seattle next weekend and luvs shopping No - so if she is game to wander round a baby dept for half an hour (you could be in trouble) then I'd be really grateful for a few bottles of the vapor stuff. Cash waiting, and I can collect merchandi...

The wee valve in my filler cap is faulty, so you get a whiff of fuel when stationary or just when parking up etc. F1 said not to worry about it, so I haven't ;-)

It was to go into a concert hall at the Adies' home at Barkham, near South Molton, as a centrepiece for the upcoming spring festival. ...if they have a home big enough to house a concert hall, surely to feck they can buy another flipping piano ;-) Oh, and ...
