Me too. There are a few missing from TRC. What happened to dodgy to name but one?
In about 2001 I went to France with Dodgy and Whitebird. WB has gone completely missing. Even the VD FB group don't know what happened to him after his Irish sojourn.

Taking my KTM wheels to the powdercoaters, the guy I spoke to a couple weeks ago said £70 - £80 per wheel. I told the lady receiving them that I would pay cash and had no need for an invoice.

" Can I pay now, I have cash in my wallet ?"

" Yes love, is £80 OK "

I never got the chance to get up and see him when he was over here, I know that girl he took up with was an odd being.

Your Lidl doesn't have e-paper SEL's.

I had to Google but I suspect SEL is 'Shelf Edge Labels' and e-paper is LED stuff so they can rip you off electronically by changing SELs and the price as you approach or after you've bought something.

Oh, brave new world. :(
