Sorry to hear that John. Wishing you a speedy recovery mate.

Disappointed that the finders name is airbrushed out of this article.

While I tend to agree that the valuation was very low, the time to complain about it was at the time.

Get it back out mate, you might find your first Saxon with it

Ooof!
