I'm Irish - I love donuts and fish 'n' chips (and Guinness). Thanks to you and Michael for your opinions, though I'm still not sure as to what I'll do. I quite like backed posters, and have a fair number of backed one sheets, etc., and I am very happy with the people who do the work. The very flimsy nature of the items in question worries me, so I just wonder what others do.
