If you can find an appliance parts shop or electronic parts shop nearby, that would be worth contacting for such things. They are disappearing fast here though.
I was quite impressed by the Pet Shop Boys though. Seemed to go down very well. Should they not call themselves the Pet Shop Blokes now? Brian
I don't have a phone in the shop, although it might be good for an emergency. The fewer distractions, the better time I have in the shop.
