My name is not Paul ... ... it’s Bill. I do realize tthat you are in the UK. Also, I had a very busy day today and didn’t get the time to look for it. Will try again later today. However, if this is any guide I routinely have items shipped to me from over there (from Dover, Kent CT17 9NZ to...

Thanks for that info ... ... going to see if I can make it that weekend also, if it is okay with you!
