Thanks for this Piers. My interest is rekindled, particularly as I've
had a good email exchange with the seller and done a little ferreting -
it turns out she is a Doctor of English at Belfast University and new

suspicions have been heightened by all the recent tails of woe from
eBay. She's going to take a few more pictures tonight for me.
I may just be mailing you for that donor door.
