Hi Dave

Check out the 3rd page of the "Thank you" thread, this is what happened and why I am now a member

"BUT PLEASE NOTE.. I am still posting and it is now February the 4th, a day after my "cut off" date!!! THIS IS BECAUSE some very, very generous member, who wishes to remain anonymous, has paid for a digital subscription for me to be a member for a full year. That is such a kind thing to do and I would personally like to thank whoever it is, publicly on the forum, for extending such generosity in my direction, so THANK YOU and hopefully you are reading this. I intend now to make provision within my budget to be able to remain a member in future years and hopefully I can repay this kindness at some point and offer help to others if things change. I will try to be a productive member and put my membership to good use and, keep on the right side of Janet, ha ha only joking!!!

Very best regards to all

Paul"

It's people like this that give eBay a bad name :evil: - and the Lightweights! Restored? :rofl: My fundament is it! A mish-mash of horrid unoriginal parts - and £2500...the mind boggles.
