Somewhat prosaically, the price did what nostalgia might otherwise have achieved!Andrew CRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641809180319527172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-44115203887892000692011-02-14T13:08:39.800+00:002011-02-14T13:08:39.800+00:00Thanks, Will, and to you two too.
