I don't suppose my 'bargain' Celestions count (either of them)?
Marco.we should have a prize for the best system, maybe you could donate your bargain dittons as maybe a runner up or 3rd place prize, i mean they're not new so we couldn't use em for a 1st prize, and like you said they were BARGAINS
so you should be able to replace them quite easily, if you have the cash, you could maybe push the boat out and buy some new speakers for a change

I love that word "scheptic" - it's ace! Pronounced 'sheptic'...
I wonder if it was invented by the guy who owns Schweppes? Any scheptics fancy a Schweppes lemonade? Shweet!
Shoz, I'll shut up now....

I think this is a brilliant idea. If nobody has any objections i would like to offer up one or more prizes for this. We pride ourselves in offering systems for every pocket, I love it when some youngster comes in with only a few quid to spend and they go away with something to listen to.
If someone is taking the leading role on this please contact me to discuss what we can do we can offer products or discount vouchers, I might even see my way to giving cashThat's not something that happens very often.

Hi Dave,
Nice to see you again, mate!
Yes, please get involved in this as much as possible. Guys, the 'cheap as chips' second-hand gear Dave sells is, quite simply, as good as it gets.
All his stuff is very carefully selected, fully serviced by him, and even comes with a guarantee!
Check out his website http://www.greenhomeelectronics.co.uk/

P.S Chris, That looks yummy. It reminds me of a Borlotti bean with legs!
