Aye, how to buy your Steam Loco allocations product even cheaper than ú39.95 ;).
By the way, how long will it remain at that price?

Very Best Wishes,
Bob.

Yes they did, I imagine the silence is due to security at the docks preventing access?
They're planned to leave the docks on January 7th...

Ah, that makes sense, thanks.

I was just getting a little worried they'd been left behind, or ended up overboard. It wouldn't be the first time that had happened to an 8F!

Indeed, some went overboard in the Bristol Channel, I believe...
