    Very decent of you Marco

    I'll see if i can liaise with Alex as i believe he's getting the train there as well. I'm pretty sure that he might need to change trains here at Pottyborough If not then it'll still no doubt come via here anyway, in which case i might as well catch the same one

    Plenty of time to sort things out at any rate
    Bests, Mark

    If you mean me Alex, then I'll be driving, and will be coming pretty much via Peterboro' - so I can pick you up on the way Mark - only thing to bear in mind is that I'm only intending on being there for the main day, not staying over so would travel back again late pm/early evening.

    http://www.hifiloudspeakers.info/spe...5e87ec48206fdd (and references within),

    and
