ok, thanks for getting back to me promptly. Agree with you, collecting would be safer.
Going to have a think about, not for long I promise. Will get back to with a firm decision before the weekend.
But if I go for it would Saturday 13th of may be suitable? I don't get much free time, grand kids ect.

Hi, Yes the items are still for sale. I think a courier is going to be about £30. There would be 2 boxes and they are quite heavy. I would be more than happy to meet you on the M40 at the services somewhere between Oxford and the M25 if that would be of any help. it would be easier and safer that way. Thanks, Ian. Feel free to contact me at justintime2001@btinternet.com if you would like to know more.

Is this still for sale?
I would be interested but live near Gatwick, so couriering would be preferable, do you have any idea of cost?
