Thanks for the interest It was late on Friday when I sent the story to B.W. at Wigan, so don't expect a response over this weekend. The locky said that they are getting a load of hassle off the cottage owner. We where told, but of course can't prove it that the cottage owner is a owner or partner in a car dealership, the same one by any chance:-)??? We are quite happy for our original post to be cross posted to any other forums where it would be relevant. Colin and Carole, nb Patty Ann, now moved onto Foulridge Wharf open for business on Sunday (as long as no one complains!)

There are so many sections and I would like to follow this saga to its conclusion. Colin might also welcome this information, (And others?) ~Allan~ > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
