Hi John
Thanks for your reply, do you know if they deliver or if you have to arrange your own transport ?

Re: Sending paint from the Uk
Pool paint is a fraction of the cost it is over here & so is quality interior paint such Dulux, Crown etc. I had both of the afore mentioned 7 years ago which saved me a lot of money, i realise that exterior paint is a different matter due to the climate as well as the close proximity to the sea tha...

Re: UK registered cars for sale

Re: smart currency exchange
Thank you for the info, I will look at their T&C's. I like the smart monies no fees etc but obviously it may reflect on the rate they give you.RichardHenshall wrote:TransferWise is very good for routine transfers and provides a good benchmark against which to measure others.
