Ha ha! OK - I'll concede you win that one. (As you can see, my
generosity knows no bounds) <grin>.

I use Tescos as my ISP - their mail server is not too bad but their
web server is awful. That and the desire to minimize my phone bill by
reading stuff offline means I've subscribed to get most lugnet stuff by
email - so the only times I actually visit the web site are when I want
to post something. So sometimes I miss beginnings of threads. Sorry!

I do know remember that 1857 - I got one when it was out and thought it
was really good value then. Shame though that it doesn't have any
bricks in any of the newer colours.

I forgot to thank you, Richard.
My local Tesco had 6 of the 1857s, so I took 4 of them. (950 pieces for
£7.85 is such good value).
I also noticed that they had 2 of the new road sign sets at £2.49 each, • so I
took those too.

I bought another of those value boxes yesterday, but I also wish that it had some other colours. I could do with a load of light and dark grey, but I shouldn't complain at this price. I would also like some transparent and chromed pieces, especially (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
