If TOG changes his mind I'll have it if I can persuade Adie to collect it on her way back from Chimay or if you can hang onto it long enough for us to collect it later. I'm sure he'll change his mind when he finds out those two tins of Quality Street will be going in the oven at 300c for an hour if he has the parts washer. Not that I'd try to influence his decision making process of course....

What use would a man like you have for a parts washer, anyway? You have a dishwasher, don't you? You can sprawl in front of the box watching the cricket and drinking Stella while the dishwasher does it for you, rather than losing subcutaneous fat(1) using a parts washer. 1. For which you're already in debt, obviously. -- SIRPip : B12
