No thanks Phil. BTW: Was a consensus ever reached about posting sale auction postings in this group? I remember there was a bit of debate about this last year - but it did not reach any conclusion. I posted a sale(ish) message last week ((URL) so (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

May I clarify my recent post: it is neither a personal sale, nor an auction - it's a combination of a 'shopping report' and an offer to go down to Safeways and fetch one. I was there at dinner time today and noticed the price reduced stock. I don't (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Not too near, no. The Safeway I am talking about is the Ingleby Barwick branch (one of the newer, larger ones) near Middlesbrough. There were about 6 or so sets left this dinner time. Strictly speaking, I think the shop's actually over the border in (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Auction/Sale announcements are OK then? Even if they are, I don't want to see "30 Minutes Until My Auction Ends" type posts. I suppose we could give it a try it, and then review it in a few weeks if things get out of hand. I must admit I'm a (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
