[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 30586, member: 99"] Hi Pete, Twas ever thus. Years ago I went after a pair of Shadow carbs. I phoned the vendor. He was happy to accept a cheque which I sent off immediately. After a couple of days I phoned him to see if the cheque had arrived. He said it had but that since then he had received many better offers. I told him he had not asked for offers. He had advertised a set price which I had paid and that he had accepted the deal just as he had accepted my cheque. He reluctantly agreed that this was the case. Some days later I received a letter from him, or rather an envelope. I opened it and shook out the contents. It contained my cheque torn up into tiny pieces. Presumably he thought this action absolved him of any responsibility. Hugo [/QUOTE]
