Barry is extremely generous with his Ebay buyers. I got FA from. Mm, that doesn't look right? He sent me...'Finchale Abbey'. I split the clump in half and swapped them with friends. I still had more than was advertised on Ebay! 8)

You can find this out in the advanced search feature of ebay.  Just to the right of the blue Search button is a small link labelled 'advanced'.  Click on this and you get lots of extra search features - one of which is a tick box that says 'Completed Listings'

Mark, if you or Jo see this can you please tell Joe that I can't make it to the gala so won't need my table for selling books, in case he wants to give the space to another seller. I'm in bed with a bloody awful dose of cold/flu. Sorry to miss everyone. Would have liked to say hello and catch up  :(

Thanks, Arthur.  I find myself whistling "Love plus one", a hit from the 80s, although maybe "farmhouse500" wasn't quite the name of the group.

So strange to read your post now Alan.

After collection dust for 20 years I had a mamouth clearout of my old records two weeks ago -  and the 'Haircut100 - love plus one' album headed off to the charity shop.....  ;D

So far 6 bidders have been bidding for it at over £200 so I am sure the price will go up further.

There must be some rich people out there - that's almost a week in Madeira in my money!

Great that the Harrison's will have the Gardeners wages paid for a good while.
