    Aye, he's really come up in the world these days.

    Like you, I remember when he only had a wooden fence.

    Only teasing, Pete, lovely selection of the best, Mick

    Ive also got a plastic coated wire coat hanger but I dont use it to for photos.
    I put it in the Mrs mouth at night to make sure she wakes up with a smile on her face.
