Bollox,
I'll be giving the Bournemouth guys a call in the morning - thanks very much for the advice! I'll mention to them about the dampness inside too - no harm in asking!
Ref the tag - yeah, Pongo is accepted - almost as a term of endearment from the others (crabs, fish heads & booties)! On a personal level, I hate that other tag . . . the one that begins with "sq" . . . if you know what I mean?
Salisbury(ish) is my stomping ground at the moment but I'm eager to get back out to Germany . . . totally different way of life there and besides . . . those autobahns.
I'll let you know how I get on.
