Getting my gardiners one... brand new from gardiners ;D

No seriously think it was £114 total thats with vat & delivery...  you may find something used on ebay and save yourself maybe £40 or whatever (tbh you aint really ganna break the bank paying an extra £40... to be safe in the knowledge you have something thats new and works!)... hopefully! :D
