    Superb pictures.Looks even better second time round,Wish we were all still there :) Nice to see someone take pride in their photography.Thanks to all the Dutch and European trade stands who made this show possible.A great turnout of us English folks as well.A tremendous amount of work that went into the displays and money and was very well appreciated by everybody.And a big thank you to all the English trade lads and women who made us all feel very welcome.

    dont forget the lassies in the chinese restaurant and all the helpful staff in the hotel (especially the barman ;))

    these pictures bring back fantastic memories,when tractors were tractors and not computerised,chipped or had any other enhancing electric gizmo..............as a man once quoted in classic tractor magazine when interviewed about his classic contracting fleet-a tractor should only have 1 brain......mine?

    I was at one time waiting for a 'recorded' delivery that was massively overdue so rang The Post Office and giving them the 'tracking' number asked where the package was. They told me that the only way they knew where the item was, was if it had been delivered and the recipient had 'signed' for it. I asked them, why charge for or use a sevice that in effect is non-existant?, this they could not or would not answer. Obviously, not every sorting office a package passes through bothers to scan the attached label. You can go on-line and use their 'tracking' service, type in the tracking number and submit the search and a message comes up telling you that it may take 3 weeks to process your search, check back from time to time. You will, in the main, receive a better service of delivery if you send stuff by ordinary second class standard post I find.

    Recorded items are not scanned at anytime through the delivery network until signature on delivery- the barcode is then scanned,recipients name entered and signed by receiver of item

    Royal mail cannot 'track' anything sent in the post whether sent recorded or not, the only way they know where an item is, is if it has reached its destination and has been 'signed for' by the recipient. Your best bet is to find out the buyers email address, which should appear in your 'payments' list in your PayPal account and email him a scan of the receipt of postage with a polite message stating that 'here is proof of postage'. You cannot be held responsible for the item once it has left your hands. As far as I am aware, he is covered by PayPal who will refund the amount which will not affect you. You can prove that you sent it but he can't prove that he has not received it so you have the more 'right'.

    Im sorry but i have to disagree with that remark,royal mail offers special delivery services which cost more and also the 'tracked' system which is used on a massive scale by amazon,any item sent by either service is scanned on an barcode system from dispatch to distribution centres then to delivery offices and finally at recipients delivery address.
