Oh dear, now I have to join in ! I hope, and expect, Philippa, that you were not inferring that Mr Crook was a "mere car salesman".........He may have had his idiosyncratic methods, but he did run a successful company for very many years, and without him we wouldn't even be on this board, let alone be able to admire the wonderful machines he and his staff made, and which Mr Silverton continues to improve.

Maybe I mis-read your comment, in which case, do please accept my apologies. I usually agree with all your comments ! Stephen B.
