Hi Nick

I love all your shiny bits of stainless steel gadgetry. I think I should have been a welder/fabricator like every other male member of the Beasley family!

Coming from Hull, we have an amazing outlet on the marina selling similar marine products to yourself. I love visiting there, Its rammed full of 'boy's toys'....
