Doesn't a fridge freezer require a paid-for sticker to dump it, to cover the cost of draining it of freons? Although of course your tenner should cover it easily... -- Peter

If it's the one I'm thinking of it is indeed a very nice table, and if we had somewhere to store it I'd chew your arm for it to go the place in Wales. Which may need have to have a whole new roof on the kitchen. Sob. -- Sara Wishing the weather would cheer up
