Considering the fact that my find obviously doesn't seem to "do it" for this "crowd" John, which is totally understandable and fair enough, that looks like a total non-starter so I'll get the hint and go elsewhere but thanks to anyone that it did do "something for" by showing a little more than a passing interest and I hope some of you enjoyed the pictures anyway. At least all the typing wasn't totally worthless I suppose as I have had the odd encouraging comment by some (and order) so I'll take that on board and just try to move on.
If there is anybody that shows the remotest interest and can put up with my style of description (way too long for most people as has been mentioned more than once) then please feel free to check out the Le Cercle stuff that will be listed over the next few weeks and I hope to meet and deal with some new people soon but to be honest, no skin off my nose. Thanks all (well some of you) and I hope we cross paths in another life perhaps as I expect I won't be darkening your doors any time soon. Enjoy your weekends.

At least the missus' Christmas present is sorted!
