John and Shaun,
Concerning shrinkage - Ive seen it on at least three occasions - obviously they wont shrink if well secured - the ones Ive seen showed signs that shrinkage had already taken place before cleaning so obviously werent secure.
Shaun,
Yes, had my op on wednesday, trying to rest up but finding it difficult - hobbled round to shop today on crutches - still Im getting up to date with that horrible paper work and preparing things to start back with a Blast, in a couple of weeks.
Dave.
