Hold on a minute. Where did I mention anything about cost? I was the the one that offered it to you, don't forget - gratis. So please don't feel that I'm trying to fob off my stuff on you, or feel that you automatically have to dip your hand in your pocket.
The thing is, since posting my last one, I've just had a mate on the blower inviting me to his engagement party tomorrow... which means I shan't be going to my old address tomorrow after all. But I will go there on Sunday, and I'll let you know the outcome by Sunday evening at the latest.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your neighbour. God willing, maybe all will turn out good for the chap.
