If you have some pocket money Mark, this item might be worth investing in. Likewise, the whole site is an interesting "browse" http://www.spycatcheronline.co.uk/laser-audio-surveillance-p-946.html?spyid=99f5uq7ch0e6ue4cc742qam8c7 On what annoyed me...a certain ebay buyer who knows the postal fraud / no tracking number scam. Requests cheaper postage, then claims the item never turns up. My own fault for giving in to "its hard times so can't you send it standard royal mail". A lesson has been learnt!

It wouldnt suprise me as Ebay has pretty much destroyed the selling aspect of the site. Its only buyer's who they have left to squeeze so I would say its an inevitability . I have been on the wrong end of last second bidding from time to time losing an item because someone else's connection is probably quicker than mine. :'( As a seller on ebay, I will be honest and say sniping annoys me, as I'm sure it would anybody else, but then the blame lies on ebay again for not having lower fees for reserves or starting prices etc..

I know some online auctions now put anti-snipe components in the sale where the auction is prolonged for between 1 - 3 minutes if someone bids in the last few seconds. There is a rumour ebay will do the same at some point in 2012 as from their point of view, its a significant chunk lost revenue I guess \ . For sellers it would be good news, but it would change the bidding habbits of the vast majority of buyers I would think.

Tidy work that Mark. Very effective colour schemes too.

I recently invested in a Witter Tow Bar for the car. Not cheap mind you! Had my first towing outing last weekend with the caravan!

Look forward to those pictures Brian. Thanks to everyone who has uploaded so far. The diorama arrangement looked impressive. Hope it was a good show for all involved.

Looks impressive Jack. I've not seen anything like that before on a beet machine.Round here anyway. What advantages do the tracks offer?

Nice johny. She's a beast. Have you got anything to couple her up to?

Firstly, without letting this interesting debate slip down a notch, can we keep comments constructive and acknowledge each and everyone us may have our own opinions on the subject, of which we are entitled to voice. Basically, as long as we all "agree to disagree" I won't have to get the naughty step out for anyone. That includes everyone on the forum by the way I am also going to split this topic away from the original subjet which was a new release. My own thoughts on the model are that it is probably a bit too excessive with the Union Jack but as a marketing gimmick, it very much delivers! Il get Britains to confirm the production on this later today. The Made in Britain debate could go on forever really. A similar argument could be put forward if a plastic product component was pressed in Britain from oil/raw plastic sourced from the middle east yet had a Union Jack on it. I think if there is an element of british manufacturing / assembly, a product is worthy of a made or assembled in britain label. I would tend to disagree with a company then using a 100% British through and through marketing label, but I doubt this happens often for legal reasons. The food industry could perhaps implement stricter guidelines on these labels. Processed in the UK, Sourced from xxx would solve the issue perhaps?

I'm running a server update at the moment. It tends to interfer slightly with the site but should clear up in half hour or so.

Some great layouts again. I liked the Sugar Beet scene too. Thanks must go to Tris who took the second half of the pictures.

No problem
