Having PaB won’t stop the whining, it’ll just change the lyrics - “they don’t have the pink slopes I need, and the greys look wrong”.

Brilliant!

   However, I would like to know what all this talk about buying 2004 sets is about. Has the New Year been and gone already up north?

Haven’t you heard: in Sep - Mar the days are shorter in the northern hemisphere than in the southern, therefore the new year must come sooner in the north. It all averages out in the northern winter, though, and it is quite safe to cross the equator at either equinox.

Cheers
