I had this advertised on another forum, as I thought there woul be more interest there.....I was wrong. I know you lot 'on here' are more knowledgable and appreciative of Orrells, but I also know that it's harder to get money out of you when the price creeps up a bit!
Anyway......donation to the forum to follow, as my little star has temporarily faded....
