Yeah, thanks Alan. I have had a few near misses in-between infrequent
uses though.

Depends if you are as tight as me I suppose! £7.99 is the minimum bid,
and for a used unit I think it is a bit pricey. As for £14 + VAT for a
new one from Clove (who were in Bournemouth last time I dealt with
them), well I am afraid my infrequent use really doesn't warrant that
sort of expenditure.
