That is what I read on the web, but I can't find anywhere on companies house to download - I just found the bit where it was �15 to have it sent. Is there a link anywhere? -- Woody www.alienrat.com

Taa - should have looked there, I just looked on the price list section. Duly downloaded, stuck in acrobat, trimmed to the relevant 4 pages, covering letter added to the front, copied to the tablet (the only movable thing with a modem), fax set up and sent. Took a couple of minutes to send 80k worth of documents - isn't old fashioned technology wonderful! Now just sit and wait I guess. -- Woody www.alienrat.com
