From Tony Mizzochin and on it's way to Sigean soon

(but do use an antibacterial "wipe" to disinfect it :-)

'It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.'

Comment by John Gayer on March 3, 2020 at 7:20am: Hear, hear!!

Comment by Alan Brignull on March 2, 2020 at 9:18pm: Indeed, Mister Hairman. And to whit.
