Hi Hugo,
Is this your final offer? I mean that in terms of are you going with
that price? I'm in the second group of ten so you might not get to me
as yet. I'm happy that it's first come first served. Having said that
I'll send you the money as soon as you're happy with the price and if I
make the ten.
On the postage to me I am planning on doing a tour of England for August
so there is every chance that I could collect it in person ;-)
Thanks a million for organising this
John
